Battery Positive Cable may Chafe and Arc

If the battery positive cable arcs, it can increase the risk of a fire.

 

Summary

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2010-2019 Spartan Emergency Response Gladiator vehicles. The protective sleeve for the cable that connects the battery positive terminal to the alternator can become brittle and allow the cable to chafe and arc.

 

Remedy

Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will install brackets to move the cable away from any chafe points, and replace any damaged battery positive cables, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in August 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan’s number for this recall is 18020.

 

Notes

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.
