Con-Tech BridgeKing Concrete Mixer Trucks Recalled for Fender Mount Cracks

Con-Tech is recalling 2015-2017 BridgeKing concrete mixer trucks because fender mounts may crack, causing fenders to detach and create road hazards.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fender mounts cracking) that can lead to parts detaching and increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury/property-damage risks.
