2012 Utilimaster Aeromaster recalls
Recall 18V-377: Seat Belts
Problem: 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.
Fix: 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.
Recall 16V-275: Electrical System
Problem: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Utilimaster Aeromaster vehicles manufactured from November 5, 2013, through March 31, 2016. The push-to-trip circuit breaker for the lift gate system may have been improperly wired. As a result, even though the circuit breaker has been pushed, the lift gate system may still be powered.
Risk: With an improperly wired circuit breaker, maintenance personnel could be unaware that the lift gate system is still energized, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Fix: Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will move and properly install the push-to-trip breaker on the driver's side of the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began on June 8, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 16013.

Problem: Spartan Motors, Inc. (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Utilimaster Aeromaster walk-in vans manufactured January 1, 2010, through March 19, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a loose power connection at the power stud terminal block.
Risk: A loose power stud may cause arcing or high heat on the terminal, increasing the risk of a fire.
Fix: Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and properly tighten the electrical connection, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2014. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400.
