Problem Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2017 Gladiator and K3 motorhome chassis manufactured April 18, 2016, through June 7, 2016 and equipped with Cummins ISX15 engines using certain engine control modules (ECM). These ECM's may experience an internal electrical short that can cause a fuse to blow, resulting in an unexpected engine stall without the ability to restart the engine. Risk An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Fix Spartan will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the defective ECM with a remedy part, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 16016.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 16016 is the number Spartan assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V429000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Which vehicles does 16016 cover?

2017 Spartan Gladiator and 1 other Spartan model, 15 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
