Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. "Spartan Chassis" is recalling certain model year 2013 Metro Star and Gladiator emergency vehicles manufactured August 7, 2012, through June 6, 2013. Due to electrical signal fluctuations, the circuits in the restraints control module may become damaged. If damaged, the airbag or seat belt pretensioner may inadvertently deploy.
If the seatbelt pretensioner or the air bag inadvertently deploys while driving, it may result in personal injury or increase the risk of a crash.
Spartan Chassis will notify owners, and dealers will add a suppression device to reduce electrical signal fluctuations, free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2013. Owners may contact Spartan Chassis at 1-517-543-6400.
