ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Shyft Group is recalling certain 2022-2024 Spartan RV K1, K2, K3, and K4 motorhome chassis. A vehicle control module software error may cause loss of drive power or loss of key safety functions, such as loss of head lights or windshield wipers.
- What it can cause
- A sudden loss of drive power, or reduced visibility from a loss of head lights or windshield wipers can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft Group will update the vehicle control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 17, 2023. Owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 23-01.
- 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 2,336 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 2022 to 2024, 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 electrical system 19 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V589000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V114000 (fuel system, diesel), 24V052000 (steering), 22V789000 (suspension), 22V785000 (service brakes, air).
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 February 9, 2023 as campaign 23V062000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
