What happened

ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2017-2019 Spirit of Freedom and Spirit of Mobility vehicles that have Specialty Prolo Roof Hatches. The roof hatch external handle can break during normal use, which means the hatch cannot be opened easily from outside the vehicle in an emergency, creating a risk of injury.

ARBOC will notify owners and replace the roof hatch handles at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact ARBOC customer service at 1-866-953-5555 or Specialty customer service at 1-800-951-7867 to arrange for the free replacement.
