The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
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.
