- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the rod and handle as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan's number for this recall is 26001.
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 311 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2007 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 18 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Spartan Fire vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 6 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V799000. 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 Fire, LLC with NHTSA on December 23, 2025 as campaign 25V910000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
