Con-Tech recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Con-Tech Manufacturing (Con-Tech) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 BridgeKing concrete mixer trucks manufactured September 13, 2015, to April 8, 2016. On the affected vehicles, the fender mounts on the bridge axles may crack and the fenders may separate from the vehicle.
What could happen
A fender that detaches from the bridge axle can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Con-Tech will notify owners, and dealers will install a service kit that includes fender mount support gussets, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2016. Owners may contact Con-Tech customer service at 1-507-374-2239.
