- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft) is recalling certain Blue Arc BA4L-800 vehicles equipped with Aries LFP battery packs. The battery pack may be improperly sealed and allow liquid to enter the battery.
- What it can cause
- Liquid intrusion into a battery pack can cause a loss of electrical isolation or short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire or shock hazard.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft will work with Our Next Energy to inspect and repair, or replace the battery packs as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2025. Owners may contact Shyft customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 25-08.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 23 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V088000 (steering), 25V447000 (parking brake), 25V142000 (exterior lighting).
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 April 3, 2025 as campaign 25V206000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
