2000–2010 Spartan Gladiator & 2000–2010 Spartan Metrostar + 3 more recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Spartan is recalling certain model year 1998 through 2010 Advantage, Barron, Gladiator, Metrostar, mountain star, and TR-1 fire apparatus chassis cabs manufactured between february 27, 2003 and november 17, 2009 and belts sold to various vehicle alters. Certain seat belt anchorages fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
💥 The risk
The seat belt may separate from the cab during a vehicle crash and fail to properly restrain the occupant. This may result in personal injury to the seat occupant.
🔧 The fix
Spartan will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on june 2, 2010. Owners may contact spartan chassis at 1-800-543-4277 - option 1.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
