FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft Group) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Spartan RV Chassis K3 vehicles. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
- What it can cause
- A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- On engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 22, 2021. Owners may contact Cummins Care at 1-800-CUMMINS (1-800-286-6467) or visit the website at care.cummins.com or owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 21-23.

- 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 143 vehicles this is a small campaign: 65% 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 2023, 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 fuel system, diesel 5 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V566000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V052000 (steering), 23V062000 (electrical system), 22V531000 (steering), 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 December 14, 2021 as campaign 21V969000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
