The problem

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 MetroStar Chassis cabs built for Emergency Response use and ILAV Chassis cabs for Department of Defense use, manufactured December 9, 2014 to June 3, 2015 and equipped with certain drive axles manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. The affected axles have hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened.

The risk

If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Spartan will notify owners and dealers will inspect the hex nuts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2015. Owners may contact Marmon Herrington customer service at 1-517-543-6400 or contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-4277.
