Seat Belts › Front › Retractor18V377000
Filed Jun 6, 20183,194 vehiclesSpartan Motors Usa
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."
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.
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.

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
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
