SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Utilimaster Aeromaster Upfit vehicles. The suspension seat mounting fasteners may have been improperly tightened. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."
- What it can cause
- A seat with loose fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tightened or replace the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 7, 2025. Owners may contact Shyft customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 25-09.
- 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 163 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 model years 2022 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Utilimaster vehicles have been recalled over the seats 4 times before this, most recently in March 2025 as 25V152000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V265000 (equipment), 25V405000 (back over prevention), 25V296000 (seat belts), 22V846000 (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 April 22, 2025 as campaign 25V268000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
