The problem
Altec is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 service utility body vehicles manufactured from may 2009 through may 2011. The compartment latch may fail in the secondary (safety catch) position.

Altec will direct the customers to inspect the compartment door latches and replace any that do not hold in the secondary latching position. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on september 7, 2011. Owners may contact altec at 1-877-462-5832.
