Defect Description

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 Transit Bus Chassis Cabs manufactured June 16, 2011, to December 1, 2015, and built to be completed as transit buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). These chassis cabs have frames that may crack.

Consequence / Hazard

The cracked frame may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Proposed Solution

Spartan has notified owners, and dealers will weld any cracked frames as an interim fix. For the final remedy, the dealers will add reinforcement to both chassis rails, free of charge. An interim notice was sent to owners on July 18, 2016. The recall began on October 5, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan's number for this recall is 16019.
