The problem
Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing (KTM) is recalling certain 2014-2021 Kentucky Trailer MV and PV vehicles. The walk board rack mounting bolts may loosen, allowing the rack to separate from the vehicle.
The risk
The walk board may fall while in use, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
KTM will install new washers, bolts, and locking nuts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 25, 2022. Owners may contact KTM's customer service at 1-502-637-2551.
