What's wrong?
The affected 2024-2027 Spartan Rv Chassis K1, Rv Chassis K2, Rv Chassis K3, and Rv Chassis K4 use a pressure switch in the brake-light circuit. That switch is supposed to sense service-brake pressure and close the circuit only when the driver presses the brake pedal, turning on the exterior brake lights for traffic behind the vehicle.
On these chassis, the selected pressure switch did not have a specified minimum release pressure. That means the switch can stay in the closed position after brake pressure is released. When that happens, the exterior brake lights stay illuminated even though the service brake is not being applied.
Owners can notice the brake lights staying on while the vehicle is parked or after the brake pedal is released. There is no separate warning sign before this happens; the brake lights themselves are the sign.
Who's affected?
Spans the K1, K2, K3, and K4 chassis families across the 2024-2027 model years, all tied to the brake-light pressure switch.

A matching model year and chassis family does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Brake lights that stay on make it harder for traffic behind you to tell when you are braking, increasing crash risk. The lights can be illuminated without warning, so drive cautiously and schedule the pressure-switch repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Spartan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2027 Spartan Rv Chassis K1, Rv Chassis K2, Rv Chassis K3, or Rv Chassis K4 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Spartan dealer to schedule the free pressure-switch replacement that stops the brake lights from staying on when the brakes are not applied.
- Bring the recall notice if Spartan has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V292 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and use clear turn signals because the brake lights can stay illuminated.
- Call Spartan customer service at 1-800-237-7806 with questions about the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Spartan technician replaces the pressure switch tied to the brake light issue. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. Spartan used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid for a related pressure switch or brake light repair before the recall notice, bring repair documentation and proof of payment to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.
