Recall 11V516 covers 1,294 2009-2012 Spartan chassis for cruise control that stays engaged. Repair is free at any franchised Spartan dealer.
Spartan is recalling 1,294 2009-2012 Mg, K3, Mm, Ng, Apg, and K2 incomplete recreational vehicle chassis because the cruise control can fail to cancel when the brake is applied or the vehicle speed can rise after cruise is set. Reduced driver control increases crash risk, and the dealer repair will be free once Spartan makes it available.

What's wrong?
The speed-control system on the 2009-2012 Spartan Mg, K3, Mm, Ng, Apg, and K2 chassis uses an electronic control module to manage cruise control commands. In normal operation, that module should release cruise control when the driver presses the brake pedal, so engine power drops and the vehicle slows under driver control.
On affected chassis equipped with module part number 2791-NN2E-001 or 2791-NN2E-002, the module can fail to cancel cruise control when the brake is applied. After cruise control is set, the same defect can also produce a moderate speed increase until the vehicle reaches its governed speed. That means the driver can be braking while the cruise system is still asking the vehicle to keep moving or speed up.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up through the behavior itself: cruise control staying active after a brake application, or an unexpected speed increase after cruise control has been set.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Cruise control that does not cancel as expected when the brake is applied, or a speed increase the driver does not notice, reduces control of the vehicle and increases crash risk. If the vehicle does not respond as expected, brake steadily and schedule recall service. Repair will be free at any franchised Spartan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2012 Spartan Mg, K3, Mm, Ng, Apg, or K2 chassis is included in this recall.
- Contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400 for current repair instructions and reference recall number 11V516 when you call.
- Ask where to get the free electronic-control-module repair that fixes the cruise-control cancellation and speed-increase defect.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, plus the vehicle registration and VIN.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Confirm that cruise control turns off, leave extra following distance, and avoid using cruise control if it fails to cancel.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Spartan technician repairs the affected cruise control system so brake application cancels cruise control as intended and prevents unintended speed increase after cruise control is set. Spartan's remedy says owners were notified and vehicles are repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on January 9, 2012. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, but the filing does not give a separate time estimate for the repair.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 11V516?
Recall 11V516 covers 1,294 2009-2012 Spartan Mg, K3, Mm, Ng, Apg, and K2 incomplete recreational vehicle chassis with electronic control modules that can keep cruise control from canceling when the brake is applied. Spartan repairs the affected vehicles for free.
What should I do if my 2009-2012 Spartan Mg, K3, Mm, Ng, Apg, or K2 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific chassis is included in recall 11V516. If it is, contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or a Spartan service location to arrange the free repair. Reference recall number 11V516 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Spartan's remedy states that affected vehicles are repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on January 9, 2012.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is reduced control of the vehicle. On affected Spartan chassis, applying the brake does not cancel cruise control, and the vehicle can increase speed after cruise control is set. That condition increases crash risk, so confirm your VIN and arrange the free repair.
What if I bought the Spartan chassis used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. If you never received Spartan's owner notice, check your VIN to confirm whether your specific chassis is included, then contact Spartan or a Spartan service location.
