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 mechanical defect that increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Zamzow Mfg Co Inc. is recalling one Aero Easy Cover tarping pawl assembly. The recall addresses a defect where the spring return pin within the pawl assembly may not have been tack welded. This manufacturing issue allows the pawl assembly to separate from the hub on the manual crank assembly.

If the pawl assembly separates from the hub, the swing arms on the Easy Cover tarping system may unexpectedly swing to the back of the dump body. This unexpected movement increases the risk of injury to individuals in the area.

Aero Industries has sent the affected customer a pawl retrofit kit free of charge to correct the defect. Owners may also contact Zamzow customer service at 1-816-483-5213 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
