What this recall means for you
A fuel pump drive gear in certain diesel motorhomes may slip on its drive shaft. If that happens, the fuel pump can lose its ability to deliver fuel, and the engine can stall while you are driving.
An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash. Loss of engine power can leave you unable to keep up with traffic or maneuver safely, especially in a large vehicle.
The repair is free. Cummins dealers will replace the fuel pump at no cost, and Spartan Motors will notify owners. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or call Cummins at 1-800-286-6467, Spartan at 1-800-543-5008, or Newmar at 1-800-731-8300 (Newmar recall number 17015).
