SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft Group) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Utilimaster Walk-In Vans. The headrest portion of the passenger-side jump seat may have been installed in an incorrect position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 202, "Head Restraints."
- What it can cause
- An incorrectly positioned headrest can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will install spacers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 22, 2022. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 22-02.
- 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 5,551 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the seats once before this, most recently in September 2016 as 16V639000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V833000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V754000 (power train), 22V341000 (equipment), 21V572000 (structure).
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 June 13, 2022 as campaign 22V417000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
