EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2020 Fleet Vehicles-Utilimaster Metris vehicles. The payload capacity shown on the Tire and Loading Information label may be higher than the actual payload capacity of the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- Overloading of the tires may increase the risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will notify owners and will inspect the vehicles and if the payload values are incorrect, the label will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began September 2, 2020. Owners can contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 20-06.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 5,096 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in August 2017 as 17V524000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Shyft Group with NHTSA on September 2, 2020 as campaign 20V530000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
