Missing Seat Belt Retractor/FMVSS 208

NHTSA #18V377000 · Seat Belts — Front — Retractor · NHTSA notice

Reported June 6, 2018 · Spartan Motors USA

Potentially affected: 3,194 vehicles

Repair completion: 16.66% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 18019 · Owners notified August 6, 2018 · Vehicles built September 1, 1990 – May 15, 2018 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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."

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer 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.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

COMPLAINT IS NOT RELATED TO AN ACCIDENT. IT'S TO REPORT A HIGHWAY SAFETY CONCERN. THERE'S A CONCRETE SPOT ON INTERSTATE I95 BETWEEN MILE MARKERS 102 AND 103 IN GEORGIA THAT I DEEM NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. AS YOU CROSS THIS AREA IT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO HOP.

YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER OR PASSING IT ON TO THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *JB
