STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2020-2022 Spartan RV Chassis K3 and K4 recreational vehicles. A machining defect may cause pressure to build in the power steering pump and break the shaft seal, resulting in a loss of power steering assist.
- What it can cause
- A loss of power steering assist increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will inspect the pump serial number, and replace the power steering pump if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 23, 2021. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 21-21.
- 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.nhtsa.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 91 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% 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 2020 to 2022, 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 22 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V214000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V062000 (electrical system), 22V531000 (steering), 21V969000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V589000 (electrical system).
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 27, 2021 as campaign 21V752000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
