Defect

On vehicles equipped with a vertical tail lift, inadequate process control during manufacturing left the lock handle retaining nuts insufficiently tightened on some units. Continued use allows these nuts to loosen and the lock handle to fall off. In the worst case, the stowed tail lift may open while the vehicle is in motion.

Corrective action

On all affected vehicles, inspect the tightening condition of the retaining nuts and tighten any that are insufficient to the specified position. If the lock handle has already detached, install a new handle.
