2017 Spartan K2 & 2017 Spartan K3 recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2017 Spartan Specialty Vehicle K2 and K3 vehicles manufactured March 24, 2016, to August 31, 2016. The throttle circuit wires on the affected vehicles may not have been be twisted to cancel out electromagnetic interference, and as a result, interference may cause the throttle signal to be higher or lower than intended.
💥 The risk
Unintended deceleration or acceleration can increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will install an overlay harness with twisted wires, free of charge. The recall began on November 3, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5277. Spartan's number for this recall is 16025.
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.)
