Defect: Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017 Transit Bus Chassis Cabs manufactured February 17, 2011, to October 19, 2016.

Consequence: If the floor is exposed to the heat of exhaust gases for long periods, it can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will remove the current securing clamp and install a sleeve with different clamps, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-4277. Spartan's number for this recall is 16026.
