ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
A blank instrument cluster display may be missing critical information such as the vehicle's speed and warning lights, which can increase the risk of a crash.
6 safety recall campaigns, 4 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A blank instrument cluster display may be missing critical information such as the vehicle's speed and warning lights, which can increase the risk of a crash.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
An increase in stopping distance increases the risk of crash.
A punctured air spring may deflate, possibly resulting in an overloading of the tag axle tires, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
If the vehicle moves unintentionally while parked on a grade, it could increase the risk of a crash.
The damaged tag axle tire may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2019 SPARTAN K2s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
