Plain-English summary

Shyft Group is recalling certain 2024-2025 Blue Arc BA4L-800 vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the headlight horizontal adjustment stud is missing a cover. This allows for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The defect creates a safety risk because adjusting the horizontal headlight beam can create glare for other drivers or reduce visibility for the driver, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the 2024 and 2025 model years.

Dealers will install a cover over the horizontal adjustment studs free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 14, 2025.
