POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2022 Utilimaster Walk-In vans. The transmission shifter cable may contact the exhaust manifold, causing the outer coating to melt and damaging the cable.
- What it can cause
- A melted outer coating may increase the risk of a fire. A damaged cable may prevent the transmission from shifting, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will reroute and secure the transmission shifter cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 7, 2022. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 22-11.
- 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 451 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the power train 4 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V592000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V833000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V417000 (seats), 22V341000 (equipment), 21V551000 (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 7, 2022 as campaign 22V754000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
