This Safety Recall covers all Kentucky Trailer truck body units (models MV & PV) manufactured by Kentucky Trailer between January 5, 2015 and May 31, 2022 that have a walk board rack mounted to the underbelly of the truck body unit. Description of Defect The walk board rack mounted to the underbelly of certain Kentucky Trailer truck body units, which rack serves as the housing for each unit’s walk board while the unit is in transit, can become loose due to vibrations, damage and/or other forces loosening the 28 (nut/bolt) fasteners that serve to attach the walk board rack to the underbelly of the truck body unit. If enough fasteners become loose (or ultimately separated), there can be movement in the walk board rack sufficient to allow the walk board to fall off of the truck body unit. If a walk board were to fall off of a truck body unit, particularly if the truck body unit is in transit, serious injury and/or damage to nearby persons, vehicles and/or property (including the truck body itself) could occur. Remedy The subject defect may be remedied by removing all applicable fasteners installed on the walk board rack assembly (~28) and replacing them with new fasteners (i.e. nuts/bolts/washers) that include locking nuts (Stover brand). Kentucky Trailer intends to offer this repair (free of charge) at its Louisville, KY and Fontana, CA service facilities. Kentucky Trailer also intends to make available for shipment to owners and operators of Kentucky Trailer truck body units (or their designees), packages containing the fasteners necessary to complete the repair along with detailed technical repair instructions. Kentucky Trailer intends to reimburse owners and operators for the reasonable cost associated with making such repairs (which repairs are expected to take <1 hour to complete). This recall remedy is estimated to be available beginning on August 12, 2022. In Type text here the meantime, Kentucky Trailer requests that you complete an inspection of all walk board rack fasteners on Kentucky Trailer truck body units that may be in, or may come into, your possession and tighten any fasteners that may currently be loose, and also advise any owners and/or operators of Kentucky Trailer truck body units that you may be in contact with, to promptly do the same. Owner Letter Notification Mailing Kentucky Trailer will begin notifying owners about the defect and related remedy in mid-August.

As such, the recall population includes all of the approximately 2944 truck body units manufactured by Kentucky Trailer with a walk board rack mounted to the underbelly of the unit. The only truck body units manufactured by Kentucky Trailer that are excluded from the recall population are those units that were not manufactured with a walk board rack mounted to the underbelly of the unit (as the walk board rack mounting is the subject of the recall).

If enough fasteners become loose or separated, there may be enough movement in the walk board rack to allow the walk board to fall off of the unit. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : The safety risk is the potential for the walk board to fall off of a truck body unit and cause damage or injury to the truck body unit itself and/or surrounding persons/vehicles/property. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : Warnings include loose or missing fasteners (nuts/bolts) on the truck body rack mount.

The incident did not result in any personal injury or property damage, other than damage to the walk board itself. This was the first report of such an incident since KT began manufacturing truck bodies in 2014. It was initially suspected that the nuts/bolts had been intentionally removed in an attempt by someone to steal the walk board. However, KT then developed a plan to locate and test additional nuts/bolts on similar units that were operating in the field. KT sales/marketing team members reached out to certain customers in an effort to locate similar units that could be made available for inspection. Given it is “moving season”, units that could be made available for inspection proved difficult to locate; however, on June 2, 2022 KT engineering and quality personnel inspected 2 truck body units manufactured in 2016 and 1 manufactured in 2017. The applicable nuts/bolts on 1 of the 2016 units and on the 2017 unit were all secure. However, certain nuts/bolts on the other 2016 unit were either loose or missing (KT replaced all nuts/bolts on this unit the same day). On June 3, 2022, KT engineering personnel inspected 4 KT truck body units (all manufactured in the 2020/2021 time frame) and confirmed all applicable nuts/bolts on the units were secure. On June 6, 2022, KT engineering personnel inspected 2 KT truck body units manufactured in 2018 and determined that certain nuts/bolts on the units were either loose or missing. On June 7, 2022, KT convened a meeting of certain management personnel and its board of directors and made a good faith determination that certain KT truck body units contain a safety related defect and that KT should proceed to notify NHTSA and initiate a recall. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Kentucky Trailer intends to remedy the subject defect by removing all nut/ bolt fasteners installed on the walk board rack assembly (~28) and replace them with a new washer, bolt and locking nut (Stover brand) that is torqued to the appropriate specification. Kentucky Trailer intends to undertake this service work at any of its service facilities at no charge to customers. Kentucky Trailer also intends to make available for shipment to customers (or their designees), packages containing the required washers, nuts and bolts along with replacement instructions (including detailed diagrams and specifications) and to reimburse customers for the reasonable cost of the completed service work. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The nuts previously utilized in Kentucky Trailer’s production process to mount the walk board rack to the truck body are not “locking” nuts. Thus, Kentucky Trailer intends to utilize “locking” nuts (Stover brand) in connection with its defect remedy program and also in its production process going forward. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The recall condition was corrected in production for all units delivered on and after June 9, 2022 by mounting the walk board rack to the truck body utilizing a washer, bolt and “locking” nut (Stover brand). Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Kentucky Trailer intends to begin notifying dealers of the safety related defect on July 15, 2022 and complete the notification process by July 22, 2022.
