The defect
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Altec Flatbed Bodies with stake rails. The stake rails may not be properly retained, allowing them to become dislodged.
The risk
If the stake rails become dislodged while the vehicle is moving, it can increase the risk of an injury or a crash.
The remedy
Altec will notify owners and provide stake rail retention kits, free of charge. The recall began on June 21, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 680.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
