Agency product description and boundaries
Hiab USA Inc. (Hiab) is recalling certain Waltco MDV series liftgates. The deck pins may break, resulting in the liftgate platform falling.
Still to verify: match the label on your item with the full official notice, including any exclusions, tables and photos. Some identifiers appear only on the agency website and are absent from this data feed. A missing field does not mean all versions are affected.
If your lot or date falls outside a stated range, this notice has not established that your item is affected. This is not a finding about other recalls or product safety.
2. Agency hazard and consumer action
NHTSA reports: A liftgate that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury.
NHTSA consumer action: Hiab will inspect the platform bushings and hydraulic systems and replace the deck pins, free of charge. Hiab will work with vehicle manufacturers to repair the vehicles. Owners may contact Hiab customer service at (440) 601-8852.
