IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL – 19V-447

Dear Valued Customer,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Spartan Motors USA, Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2012-2019 Walk-In Vans built on a MT45 or MT55 model chassis supplied by Freightliner Custom Chassis built between November 17, 2011 and May 17, 2019.
