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. Risk An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 17015 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. 17V403000 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.

Common questions

Which vehicles does 17015 cover?

2017–2018 Spartan Gladiator and 2 other Spartan models, 28 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 17015 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
