What happened

Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 1991-2018 Utilimaster Aeromaster and Walk-In Vans because the front seat belts lack retractors that are required to accommodate occupants of different sizes. Without these retractors, occupants may not be properly restrained during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. The vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for occupant crash protection.

Spartan will notify owners and install replacement seat belts with retractors at no charge. The recall began August 6, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-582-3454 and reference recall number 18019 to schedule the free installation.
