What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may detach, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

FMF Store Fixtures Inc. is recalling certain Nu-Line and Fleetline Fender Brackets and Fender Kits with Fender Brackets. The affected parts include part numbers N230PMLH, N230PMRH, N230-19L, N230-19R, 1650-1, 1650-2, 1650-7, and 1650-8, which were manufactured between January 1, 2015, and April 13, 2015.

The recall is due to an insufficient weld on the fender brackets. This defect may cause portions of the brackets to separate, resulting in the fender not being properly supported. If the fender is not supported, it may contact the tires and be torn from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

FMF Store will notify distributors, who will then notify end users. Affected users will be offered replacement brackets that bolt on, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2015. Owners may contact FMF Store customer service at 1-800-565-4945 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
