Summary
Shyft Group is recalling certain 2021 Utilimaster Velocity vehicles. The Tire and Loading Information placard incorrectly states a seating capacity of one, although the actual seating capacity is two.

Consequence
Incorrect seating capacity information may cause the vehicle to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
