The defect
Spartan Motors, Inc. (Spartan) is recalling one model year 2006 Utilimaster vehicle manufactured on June 1, 2006 and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
The risk
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the cargo area at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
