2023 Spartan K2 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Shyft Group is recalling certain 2023 Spartan RV Chassis K2 vehicles. The engine control module (ECM) may experience an internal short-circuit, which can result in an unexpected engine shut down without the ability to restart the vehicle.
💥 The risk
An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled school bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
🔧 The fix
Cummins will replace the ECM and fuse, free of charge. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 22-05.
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.)
