VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft Group) is recalling certain 2020 Utilimaster Walk-In vans. If depressed to the floor of the vehicle, the throttle pedal may get trapped in the open position by the tread plate installed on the floor at the driver's pedestal.
- What it can cause
- The throttle pedal stuck in the open position could increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for appropriate clearance between the throttle pedal and the tread plate. If there is not adequate clearance, dealers will adjust the tread plate for adequate clearance, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2020. Owners can contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 20-09.
- 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 80 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. 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 vehicle speed control once before this, most recently in October 2004 as 04V511000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V572000 (structure).
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.
