What happened

The front seat belt anchorages on these vehicles fail to meet federal safety standards, which may cause the seat belt to separate from the cab during a crash and fail to properly restrain the occupant, potentially resulting in personal injury.

Spartan will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on June 2, 2010. Affected consumers should contact Spartan Chassis at 1-800-543-4277 and select Option 1 to arrange for the repair.
