The problem
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2017-2018 K3 and K4 motor home chassis and Gladiator emergency response chassis cabs equipped with Cummins ISX 15L engines. These engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear could possibly slip on its drive shaft, causing a fuel pump function loss, resulting in an engine stall.
The risk
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Spartan will notify the final stage manufacturers that used these chassis or the vehicle purchaser, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel pumps, free of charge. The recall began on July 12, 2017. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 17015.
