Shyft Group is recalling approximately 451 of its 2022 Utilimaster Walk-In vans because the transmission shifter cable may be positioned too close to the exhaust manifold. This contact can cause the cable's outer coating to melt, leading to potential damage or failure of the shifting mechanism. To fix this issue, Shyft Group will reroute and secure the cable at no cost to the vehicle owner.
A melted cable coating increases the risk of a vehicle fire. Additionally, if the cable is damaged, it may prevent the driver from being able to shift the transmission, which increases the risk of a crash.
Reroute and secure the transmission shifter cable free of charge.
