What's wrong?
The lift platform on the 2017 Atc Quest trailer with the Stacker package is the moving deck used to raise and carry another load inside the trailer. Its safety lock is supposed to hold the platform in place when the lift is not being raised or lowered. The lifting chains carry the platform during movement, while the lock keeps it from dropping when chain tension is not enough.
On the recalled trailers, the trailer walls can flex or sit slightly out of square. That movement lets the lift platform move out of alignment with the safety lock. If the lock disengages at the same time the lifting chains go slack, the platform can drop unexpectedly. The design did not account for that wall flex when Atc chose the locking mechanism.
The warning sign is a slack lifting chain. If you see a chain hanging loose near the lift, treat the platform as unsecured until Atc inspects and repairs the trailer.

What's the safety risk?
An unexpected platform drop increases the risk of injury to anyone using or standing near the lift. A slack lifting chain is the warning sign that the lift is not holding correctly, so stop using the lift and contact the dealer before loading it again. Repair is free at any franchised Atc dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Atc Quest is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Atc dealer to schedule the free flange installation that keeps the lift platform from slipping out of the safety lock.
- Bring the owner notice if you have it. Reference recall number 17V110 and Atc recall STKR-LIFT when you call.
- Avoid using the lift platform until the flange is installed; keep people clear of the lift when loading or unloading.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Atc technician installs a flange that keeps the lift platform from slipping out of the safety lock. The work is free under the recall, and parts and labor are covered. The flange addresses the lift platform drop risk described in NHTSA campaign 17V110. Atc has a general reimbursement plan on file for eligible out-of-pocket repairs tied to this recall. If you already paid for related lift or safety lock work, ask Atc customer service what documentation they need for a reimbursement review.
