⚠️ What's wrong
Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. (Spartan Chassis) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Transit Bus Chassis Cabs manufactured February 17, 2011, through February 14, 2013. Due to an improper connection in the extension harness that connects the main chassis harness to the fuel pump, the fuel pump may inadvertently shut off.
💥 The risk
If the fuel pump shuts off, the engine will stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
