What's wrong?
The vehicle control module on 2022-2024 Spartan K1, K2, K3, and K4 motorhome chassis is the electronic controller that coordinates key chassis functions. It reads commands and sensor inputs, then tells systems such as drive control, headlights, and windshield wipers when to operate. On a motorhome, that module helps keep both movement and basic visibility functions available.
On affected chassis, the module uses software version v1.2. Shyft traced the defect to software development that did not account for certain failure modes. When the error appears, the module can stop supporting drive power or key safety functions. That means the motorhome can lose motive power, headlights, or windshield wipers instead of continuing normal operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices can be loss of drive power or a safety function that stops working while the motorhome is in use.

What's the safety risk?
Loss of drive power, headlights, or windshield wipers can leave the driver with less control or reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash. The problem can happen without warning, so treat any loss of power or key safety functions as a reason to stop safely and contact a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Spartan dealer.
