What was wrong

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.

Risk

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

Manufacturer 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.
