Spartan recall: Vehicle speed control
What is 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.
What could happen
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.
