STEERING
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2020-2021 RV Chassis K2, K3, K4 vehicles. The steering gear mounting fasteners may come loose, and fall out or interfere with other steering components.
- What it can cause
- If the steering gear mounting fasteners interfere with other steering components, difficulty in steering may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will notify owners, and dealers will remove and replace the steering gear mounting fasteners, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2021. Owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454.
- 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 548 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Spartan vehicles have been recalled over the steering 20 times before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V523000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V785000 (service brakes, air), 21V969000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V776000 (suspension), 21V752000 (steering).
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 February 2, 2021 as campaign 21V041000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
