SPARTAN K2

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Shyft Group (Shyft) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Spartan RV Chassis K2 vehicles equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines. The remote fuel filter hose may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.

STEERING

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2023-2025 Spartan RV K2, K3, and K4 chassis. The steering gear may have foreign material inside the gear that could build pressure within the system, resulting in a loss of power steering assist.

Risk: A sudden loss of power steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE

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.

Risk: 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.

SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2023 Spartan K2 RV chassis. The fasteners attaching the front and rear suspension to the chassis frame may have insufficient strength.

Risk: The fasteners can break, allowing the suspension to shift and increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021-2023 Spartan K2 RV Chassis. The air brake supply reservoir is less than 12x the combined volume of air for all service brake chambers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Risk: The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive braking, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.

STEERING

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2022-2023 Spartan RV Chassis K1, K2, K3, and K4 vehicles. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gears to fracture.

Risk: A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2018-2022 K1, K2, K3, and K4 Spartan RV Chassis. The instrument cluster may intermittently go blank while the vehicle is in motion.

Risk: A blank instrument cluster display may be missing critical information such as the vehicle's speed and warning lights, which can increase the risk of a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021-2022 Spartan RV Chassis K2 vehicles equipped with Cummins L9 Diesel Engines that have remote Stage 2 fuel filters and pressurized hoses. A fuel leak may occur from the fuel hose between the fuel pump and the remote fuel filter head.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.

SUSPENSION

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2020-2022 Spartan RV Chassis K1 and K2 recreational vehicles. The rear suspension mounting fasteners that attach the rear-drive axle to the rear suspension may not have been tightened properly, which could allow the fasteners to loosen or break.

Risk: Loose or broken suspension fasteners can allow the rear-drive axle to shift out of place, increasing the risk of a crash.
