For the 1999 Utilimaster Walk-IN Van. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Utilimaster been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Utilimaster dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1999 Utilimaster Walk-IN Van recalls, newest first

June 6, 2018NHTSA 18V3770003,194 vehicles potentially affected

Seat belts › Front › Retractor

Summary
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 1991-2018 Utilimaster Aeromaster and Walk-In Vans. These vehicles were manufactured with front seat belts that do not have an emergency locking seat belt retractor or automatic locking seat belt retractor. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Consequence
Without retractors, the seat belts may not accommodate different size occupants, therefore the occupants may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Spartan will notify owners and will install seat belts with retractors, free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Spartan's number for this recall is 18019.

Summary
Vehicle description: walk-in van trucks supplied to fleet accounts. The LED clearance lamps, mounted at a 30-degree set-back position, do not comply with two of the required test points of FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence

Visibility › Defroster/defogger/HVAC system › Fan/motor

Summary
Vehicle description: walk-in delivery vans supplied to the united states postal service. Under certain snow conditions, if moisture gets into the blower motor and subsequently refreezes, the blower motor could seize causing a resistor to overheat.
Consequence
When a resistor overheats, the plenum could melt, resulting in deformation and possible ignition.
Remedy
Utilimaster will install fuses between the resistors and the power supply, which will protect the resistor assembly in the event of an overcurrent situation. An existing fuse will be resized to protect the wiring harness in high-speed fan operation. Owner notification began January 24, 2001. Only us postal service vehicles are involved in this campaign.
