EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
- The defect
- Shyft Group (Shyft) is recalling certain 2025 Spartan RV Chassis K1, 2024-2026 RV Chassis K2, RV Chassis K3, and 2025-2027 RV Chassis K4 vehicles. The exterior brake lights may remain illuminated when the driver is not applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Brake lights that remain on may fail to alert other vehicles of the driver's intention, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Shyft will replace the pressure switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 28, 2026. Owners may contact Shyft customer service at 1-800-237-7806. Shyft's number for this recall is 26-05.
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 836 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Spartan vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 3 times before this, most recently in April 2019 as 19V268000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 May 8, 2026 as campaign 26V292000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
