13 safety recall campaigns, 2 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Without the control line being pressure-protected, in the event the control line is severed, air may suddenly be lost from the service reservoir system, causing the brakes to apply unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

A loss of power steering assist increases the risk of a crash.
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
A delay in the brakes releasing may hinder vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the EMS cabinets become loose during a crash, the cabinets may become projectiles, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2017 SPARTAN METROSTARs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
