Plain-English summary

LDJ Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Upfit vehicles. The recall involves 17 vehicles where the adhesive securing the rubber filler between the chassis and the upfit could fail.

LDJ will notify owners, and dealers will install aluminum brackets around the rubber filler to secure it in place. Additionally, dealers will install nuts with locking washers on the upfitted load to further secure it. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began May 5, 2020.
