Chronology :
On, or near, December 8, 2017, Engineering reviewed certain configurations of axles with certain brake chambers and performs capacity calculations on those axles. Engineering consults with Compliance on the preliminary findings.
December 12, 2017, Compliance completes review of the requirements in FMVSS 121 for air reservoir capacity and performs calculation to confirm Engineering’s findings. A VIN list identifying motor home chassis that could be affected by this condition and a stop ship was placed on further shipments until the condition was remedied. Information regarding the actual capacity of the brake chambers was sought.
On 12/13/17, the actual capacity of the service brake chambers was reviewed and it was determined the calculated amount of capacity was lower than the actual.
On December 15, 2017, Shyft determined a noncompliance to exist in the affected units. On Wednesday October 12, 2022 sent to notice to Shyft (formerly Spartan) its petition has been denied.
On October 19, 2021 engineering identified affected design codes from the previous recalled chassis were not made obsolete and began to investigated if those codes were used in other builds.
On October 21 a potential list of VIN’s was identified. The locations of the affected chassis were evaluated and on 11/10 reconciled the recall population needed to be expanded.

November 23, 2022 Street, Connie & William 1534 Southcote Rd Ancaster, ON L9G 3L1 IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL – 22V-785 This notice applies to the vehicle identification number in the label below. 4VZBU1D96FC078610 Dear Valued Customer, This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The Shyft Group, Inc. has decided that certain 2015 through 2019 model year, and 2021 through 2023 model year, MM and K2 model Spartan RV Chassis brand motor home chassis fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121 – Air Brake Systems. What is the Defect? The combined volume of air in the air brake system may be insufficient. What is the Safety Risk? In increased braking events, there may be inadequate air volume for the service brakes which may lead to other unintended consequences that could increase the risk of a crash. What is the Warning? A low air pressure telltale may illuminate, in addition to an audible alarm, in the event air pressure falls below a certain threshold. What is the Remedy? Spartan RV Chassis will replace one of the air reservoirs with a larger capacity reservoir. The repair is expected to up to 2 hours and will be performed at no charge. The Shyft Group, Inc. What You Should Do: Call Spartan RV Chassis at 855.589.9836 option 0 to locate a qualified service center near you for the inspection.
