Defect description
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Utilimaster Aeromaster vehicles manufactured from November 5, 2013, through March 31, 2016.

Manufacturer remedy
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.
