- Transmission gear indicator. NHTSA recall 12V078000 covers 679 vehicles from 2011-2012 Aeromaster models.

- Electrical power connection. NHTSA recall 14V187000 affects 3,200 vehicles from 2010-2014 models. Loose power stud terminal block connections may cause arcing or high heat, increasing fire risk. Spartan Motors inspects and tightens connections free of charge. Recall began May 23, 2014.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
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.

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.

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER¬ÃS CABLE MAY BREAK AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECTOR ARM ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. IF THE CABLE BREAKS, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR INDICATOR IN THE ‘PRNDLˆ DISPLAY IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL REMAIN IN THE FIRST GEAR POSITION REGARDLESS OF THE GEAR SELECTED.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Certain Utilimaster model year 2009 through 2011 Aeromaster and one model year 2011 Reach work trucks manufactured from September 1, 2009, through December 22, 2011, fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Risk: Certain work trucks are not equipped with either a primary door latch system or a door latch system with a fully latched position and a door closure warning system as required by FMVSS 206. Without a door closure warning system, the driver may not be aware that the door is not fully latched. The door could partially open without warning and the driver may be at an increased risk of injuries in the event of a crash.
