What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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.

The risk

An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

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.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
