Shyft Group is recalling 2023 Utilimaster Walk-in vans because a missing safety clip on the passenger jump seat may allow it to fall, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (missing safety clip) that creates a risk of injury (seat falling), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
