2016 Spartan Gladiator

Model year 2016: every recall NHTSA’s file names for it, the complaints owners made to NHTSA, and its crash ratings.

NHTSA’s recall lookup, on nhtsa.gov

Watch and the shortlist are kept with a free account, on every device. Your watch list. NHTSA’s recall lookup is on nhtsa.gov.

The short answer

From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 28, 2026.

A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.

Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?

No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.

17 letters and numbers, at the bottom of the windshield on the driver’s side. VINs never use I, O or Q.

The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.

What recalls name it?

14 recalls for the 2016 Spartan Gladiator in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.

None carries NHTSA’s advice not to drive it or to park outside.

What have owners told NHTSA?

0 complaints to NHTSA.

  • None told of a crash, and none of a fire.
  • None reports anyone injured or killed.
  • Complaints are owners’ own reports, not findings: NHTSA reads them to decide what to look into. Only their counts are kept here; no complaint’s words or owner are read.

How did it do in crash tests?

NHTSA hasn’t rated the 2016 Spartan Gladiator in its 5-Star Safety Ratings. That says nothing about how it would do.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.
  • How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
