What's wrong

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021 Utilimaster Aeromaster vehicles built on Ford E-450 chassis. The body mount bracket may chafe the brake lines, eventually rubbing through the brake lines.

The risk

If the bracket rubs through the brake lines, braking ability may be negatively affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Shyft Group has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the brake line and body mount brackets for adequate clearance, depending on the revision level of body mount bracket installed on the vehicle, a new bracket may need to be installed, free of charge. Any damaged brake lines would be replaced. The recall began October 16, 2020. Owners may contact Shyft Group customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 20-10.

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.safercar.gov.
