BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2019 Utilimaster Sprinter vehicles equipped with Voyager VOM74MM rear camera displays. The camera module power supply may fail, causing the rear view image display not to function.
- What it can cause
- Without the camera display, the driver may not be able to see hazards behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Spartan will notify owners, and will replace the relay/capacitor harness module and the Voyager VOM74MM camera display, free of charge. The recall began February 21, 2020. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 20003.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 3,616 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 72% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention once before this, most recently in April 2015 as 15V247000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Spartan Motors USA with NHTSA on February 6, 2020 as campaign 20V065000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
