Spartan Motors, Inc.
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
Spartan Motors, Inc. (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Utilimaster P80X vehicles manufactured from May 2, 2013, through August 8, 2013 and sold exclusively to UPS. In the affected vehicles, the coolant return hose may kink at the bulkhead connector resulting in a reduction of coolant flow through windshield defrost system.
Risk: The lack of coolant flow may prevent the defrost and defog system from clearing the windshield, reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Spartan will notify owners, and UPS service centers will be paid to inspect, replace, and reroute the coolant hose, free of charge. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-800-582-3454. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
