Cm Trucks recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Contract Manufacturer, LLC. (Contract Manufacturer) is recalling certain CM truck beds, models 171-ALSK, 171G-ALGS, 173-ALRD and 173G-ALGF. The attachment brackets that connect the aluminum truck bed to its steel sub frame are not the correct thickness, which may cause the brackets to crack.
What could happen
If the brackets fail, the truck bed may shift or become detached from the sub frame, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Contract Manufacturer will notify the purchasers, and their dealers will install supplemental ¼ brackets to both the chassis of the bed and the deck of the bed, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact Contract Manufacturer at 1-580-795-5536.
