Summary
On certain motorhomes equipped with caterpillar engines, the adjustable pedal return springs may return the pedal shaft to the home position while not fully returning the potentiometer key to its home position.
Consequence
In a neutral or no load situation: the engine will continue to increase idle speed until it reaces full governed rpm. The transmission will not allow shift from neutral to any gear over 900 engine rpm. In gear or under load: the engine may not return to 725 rpm (normal idle) which will require additional effort by the service brakes to overcome the additional engine rpm during braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the throttle pedal. The recall began on August 17, 2004, by phone calls. Owners should contact spartan at 517-543-6400.
Notes
Spartan recall no.spec 04017.CUSTOMERS can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Spartan been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Spartan dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
