What's wrong?
The 2022-2024 Kentucky Trailer Mv and Pv truck bodies use a composite attic floor in the upper cargo area. That floor is the load surface above the cab area, and crossmembers underneath it act like support bars. The floor and crossmembers have to stay tied together so cargo weight and body movement stay supported.
On affected truck bodies, the attic floor material and installation process changed. The composite fiberglass panel with a honeycomb core was secured with screws at the front and adhesive along other edges and crossmembers. Without mechanical fasteners at those joints, the adhesive bond can fail, the attic floor can move, and the crossmember end clips can wear down until the crossmembers loosen.
Owners or fleet technicians can see warning signs before the crossmembers come loose. Look for a loose attic floor, loose crossmember end clips, or damaged end clips under the attic floor.

Repair is free at any franchised Kentucky Trailer dealer.

The recall repair is free now, with parts and labor covered by Kentucky Trailer. Tell the service desk you are scheduling the floor securement recall and ask them to confirm the work applies to your truck body by VIN before the appointment.
