SUSPENSION
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2020-2022 Spartan RV Chassis K1 and K2 recreational vehicles. The rear suspension mounting fasteners that attach the rear-drive axle to the rear suspension may not have been tightened properly, which could allow the fasteners to loosen or break.
- What it can cause
- Loose or broken suspension fasteners can allow the rear-drive axle to shift out of place, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will inspect the rear suspension fasteners for damage, and replace and tighten them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 16, 2021. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 21-22.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 660 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% 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 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 suspension 24 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V347000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 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 October 5, 2021 as campaign 21V776000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
