Each recall: problem, risk and fix
Exterior Lighting › Brake Lights (19V477000, 2019-06-21)
Problem: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2012-2019 Fleet Utilimaster Walk In vehicles built on a DTNA chassis. The brake pedal clevis pin clip may rub or bend on the throttle pedal and possibly detach.
Risk: If the clip is detaches and clevis pin slides out of position, the brake lights may fail. Loss of brake lights may mislead other drivers if they are unaware the vehicle is stopping or slowing down, which increases the risk of crash. If the pin continues to slide out further, the pedal may detach, increasing the risk of crash.
Free fix: DTNA will notify Spartan owners, and DTNA dealers will inspect the clevis pin clearance and correct it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 22, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or Spartan at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 19013.
Seat Belts › Front › Retractor (18V377000, 2018-06-06)
Problem: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 1991-2018 Utilimaster Aeromaster and Walk-In Vans. These vehicles were manufactured with front seat belts that do not have an emergency locking seat belt retractor or automatic locking seat belt retractor. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: Without retractors, the seat belts may not accommodate different size occupants, therefore the occupants may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Free fix: Spartan will notify owners and will install seat belts with retractors, free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Spartan's number for this recall is 18019.
Seat Belts (17V492000, 2017-08-07)
Problem: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Utilimaster Walk-In Vans. In the event of a crash, the seat belt D-ring mounting may detach, preventing the seat belt from restraining the occupant. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: A seat belt that does not keep the seat occupant restrained increases the risk of injury.
Free fix: Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will install a seat belt mounting reinforcement bracket, free of charge. The recall began on August 18, 2017. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan's number for this recall is 17020.
Seats › Front Assembly › Recliner (16V639000, 2016-09-02)
Problem: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2016 Utilimaster Walk-In Vans manufactured January 1, 2016, to August 24, 2016 and equipped with a reclining style seat. The driver's seat on the affected vehicles may recline unexpectedly.
Risk: Unexpected reclining of the driver's seat may affect the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the seat fails in a crash, the seat occupant would be at a greater risk of injury.
Free fix: Utilimaster will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat with a non-reclining one, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2016. Owners may contact Utilimaster customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Spartan's number for this recall is 16023.
