Summary

Rapiscan Systems, Inc. "Rapiscan" is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 M60 mobile cargo and vehicle inspection systems. In the affected vehicles, due to overtightening, the mounting hardware for the structure that deploys and stows the x-ray scanner may fail, allowing the structure to separate from the vehicle.

Consequence

If the structure detaches from the vehicle, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Rapiscan notified the owner of the affected vehicles on April 11, 2014 and will replace and correctly tighten the mounting hardware, free of charge. Owners may contact Rapiscan at 1-310-978-1457.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
