- The problem
- Spartan is recalling certain model year 1998 through 2010 advantage, barron, gladiator, metrostar, mountain star, and tr-1 fire apparatus chassis cabs manufactured between february 27, 2003 and november 17, 2009 and belts sold to various vehicle alters. Certain seat belt anchorages fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."
- The risk
- The seat belt may separate from the cab during a vehicle crash and fail to properly restrain the occupant. This may result in personal injury to the seat occupant.
