STEERING:COLUMN
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021-2022 Spartan RV Chassis K1, K2, K3, and K4 vehicles. The steering output shaft inside the steering column may be too short and could disengage from the steering input shaft.
- What it can cause
- Disengagement of the steering output shaft could result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the steering column, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2021. Owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 21-07.
- 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 37 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% 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 model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Spartan vehicles have been recalled over the steering 21 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V041000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V114000 (fuel system, diesel), 23V062000 (electrical system), 22V785000 (service brakes, air), 22V531000 (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 March 25, 2021 as campaign 21V214000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
