Certain vehicles equipped with a bench style seat and manual, lap-only seat belts, do not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The seat belts are not equipped with a retractor as required by the standard. As a consequence, the seat belt may not adjust to accommodate the varying size of occupants, which could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Spartan Motors Service Centers will replace the seat belts with new ones that have automatic locking retractors.
