| 4,534 vehicles affected
Defect: 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.

View full details →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.

| 190 vehicles affected
Defect: 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."
Consequence: A seat belt that does not keep the seat occupant restrained increases the risk of injury.
Remedy: 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.

| 151 vehicles affected
Defect: 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.
Consequence: 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.
