- The defect
- Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing (KTM) is recalling certain 2022-2024 (KTB) MV and PV truck bodies. The upper cargo area floor may not be secured properly, which can allow the crossmembers to loosen and detach.
- What it can cause
- Crossmembers that detach can fall off the truck body, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will secure the floor, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 23, 2023. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-502-637-2551.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Kentucky TrailerMV | 2022 to 2024 | Not published here |

How this campaign compares
At 1,439 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kentucky Trailer vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V632000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing with NHTSA on August 27, 2024 as campaign 24V642000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
