Exterior lighting: brake lightsReported June 21, 2019 · 4,534 vehicles affected

What is wrong: 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.
Risk: If the clip is detaches and clevis pin slides out of position, the brake lights may fail.

If the pin continues to slide out further, the pedal may detach, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy: DTNA will notify Spartan owners, and DTNA dealers will inspect the clevis pin clearance and correct it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 22, 2019.

Seat belts: front: retractorReported June 6, 2018 · 3,194 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 1991-2018 Utilimaster Aeromaster and Walk-In Vans.

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.
