Shyft Group is recalling 34 of its 2022 Utilimaster Walk-In vans because a catalytic converter theft deterrent cover was installed in a way that it may rub against the hydraulic brake lines. This contact can wear down or puncture the lines, causing brake fluid to leak and potentially leading to a total loss of braking power. Shyft Group will modify the cover to ensure proper clearance and replace any damaged brake lines free of charge.
The theft deterrent cover can physically contact and damage the hydraulic brake lines over time. If the lines leak fluid, the driver may experience a sudden loss of braking ability, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Modification of the theft deterrent cover to provide proper clearance and replacement of damaged brake lines.
