The problem

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021-2022 Utilimaster Walk-In vans. The tie rod clamps may be loose, which could result in loose tie rod ends that could break or detach.

The risk

Detached or broken tie rod ends can result in steering loss, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will mail owner letters on behalf of Shyft Group, and DTNA service facilities will replace the tie rod clamp bolts and nuts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 23, 2021. Owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 21-17.

Notes

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.
