FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
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.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2001-2018 Spartan Gladiator, Diamond, MetroStar, and Advantage emergency response vehicles.
