STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft Group) is recalling certain 2023 Utilimaster Walk-In vans. The retaining nut that holds the shock mount together may have been improperly installed and can loosen.
- What it can cause
- A loose retaining nut may allow the bumper to detach, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The remedy is currently under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Shyft Group's customer service at 1-800-8582-3454.
- 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. Please be reminded of the following requirements: You are required to submit a draft owner notification letter to this office no less than five days prior to mailing it to the customers. Also, copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy of the final owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be submitted to this office no later than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner). As stated in Part 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will be due on, or before, 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter.
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 153 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% 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, 2023, 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 structure 4 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V658000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V857000 (seats).
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 November 18, 2022 as campaign 22V856000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
