What's wrong?
The walk board rack on 2014-2021 Kentucky Trailer Mv and Pv truck bodies is mounted underneath the body. It holds the walk board while the truck is in transit, keeping that board secured to the vehicle instead of exposed or loose on the road.
On affected truck bodies, the rack is held to the underbelly with 28 nut and bolt fasteners that are not locking nuts. Vibration, road damage, and other forces can loosen those fasteners over time. If enough fasteners loosen or fall off, the rack can separate from the truck body and the walk board can fall from the vehicle.
Owners or fleet operators can see the warning sign during an inspection. Look for loose or missing nuts or bolts on the truck body rack mount before the vehicle goes back into service.
