Problem Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Specialty K1 motor home chassis equipped with independent front suspension and front drum brakes. The cotter pins may be missing or improperly installed at the actuator rod of the front slack adjuster for the front brakes. Risk The missing or improperly installed cotter pin may cause the actuator rod to detach, affecting brake performance and lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Spartan will notify owners, and service centers will inspect the cotter pin installation, properly installing the pin and adjusting the brakes as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 7, 2019. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 19001.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 19001 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. 19V049000 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

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 19001 the same recall as 19V049000?

Yes. 19001 is Spartan’s own number for it; 19V049000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 19001 cover?

2019–2020 Spartan K1, 73 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 19001 repair cost anything?

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