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