Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle is a Ford E-350 chassis equipped with a unicel box body. The failure is the mounting of the truck body to the chassis. The design of the box attaching mechanism is inferior resulting in a separation of the body from the chassis. The body is attached only to the plywood floor of the box only with no other structural components. The attachment points are also inaccessible for inspection resulting in the inability to inspect the corrosion of the bolts and the ultimate failure of the mounting to the chassis.”
