STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS

- Shyft Group (Shyft Group) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Utilimaster Work Trucks. The welds may be missing or cracked on certain areas of the truck's body mount frame.
- What it can cause
- Missing or cracked welds may cause the cargo body to shift, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect for missing welds, and repair if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 10, 2022. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 22-08.
- 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 2,139 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V572000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V452000 (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 August 31, 2022 as campaign 22V658000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
