Problem 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. Risk Unintended deceleration or acceleration can increase the risk of a crash. 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 16025 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. 16V776000 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 16025 cover?

2017 Spartan K2 and 1 other Spartan model, 245 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
