Recall 18V377000 — SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
| 3,194 vehicles affected
Defect: 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."
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.

Most Recent Complaints
COMPLAINT IS NOT RELATED TO AN ACCIDENT. IT'S TO REPORT A HIGHWAY SAFETY CONCERN. THERE'S A CONCRETE SPOT ON INTERSTATE I95 BETWEEN MILE MARKERS 102 AND 103 IN GEORGIA THAT I DEEM NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. AS YOU CROSS THIS AREA IT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO HOP. IT MAY NOT BE TOO MUCH A PROBLEM FOR LIGHT TRUCKS AND CARS BUT FOR HEAVY TRUCKS AND VEHICLES TOWING TRAILERS IT CAN GET UNSAFE AS YOU OFTEN TRY TO FIND THE BEST WAY TO CROSS THE AREA WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER OR PASSING IT ON TO THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *JB
