Spartan Motors USA "Spartan" is recalling certain 2001-2019 Spartan MetroStar and Gladiator emergency vehicles. The mounting fasteners for the Emergency Medical Service "EMS" cabinets may not be the correct size, allowing the cabinets to break free from their mountings in the event of a crash.
If the EMS cabinets become loose during a crash, the cabinets may become projectiles, increasing the risk of injury.
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect size fasteners with the correct fasteners, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 18030.
