Service bulletin SB-18-300
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Heil has identified the potential for a weld defect on Heil® DuraPack® Front End Loaders, DuraPack® Python® Side Loaders, and DuraPack® Rapid Rail® Side Loaders equipped with the Service Hoist or Service Lift options manufactured from June 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Note that Service Hoist and Service Lift functions are almost identical, except that the Service Hoist includes truck-mounted hydraulic cylinders for lifting the body and a Service Lift requires a crane or other outside lifting device. The potential defect relates to off-spec welding of the Rear Pivot Pin Assemblies, Heil P/N 211-5256. These 2 pins (one on each side of the frame rail) hinge the body structure during Service Hoist or Service Lift raising and lowering operations.
