Problem Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2019 Fleet Services/Utilimaster Truck Body vehicles built on a Peterbilt chassis. Due to undersized wires, the connector between the cab power harness and the power distribution center (PDC) harness may overheat and melt, possibly resulting in an engine shutdown. Risk An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Fix Spartan will notify owners, directing them to contact a Peterbilt dealer to have the main power wire to the PDC replaced with a wire of the correct gauge, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 19009.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 19009 is the number Utilimaster assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 19V304000 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.
