The short version
Spartan Motors USA reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
If the battery positive cable arcs, it can increase the risk of a fire.
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.
