Aero Industries, Inc. (Aero Industries) is recalling certain Easy Cover tarping systems. The spring return pin within the pawl assembly may have not been tack welded, allowing the pawl assembly to separate from the hub on the manual crank assembly.
Separation of the pawl assembly and hub may cause the swing arms on the Easy Cover tarping system to unexpectedly swing to the back of the dump body, increasing the risk of crash.
Aero Industries will notify owners and provide new pawl assemblies to the affected customers, free of charge. The recall began July 17, 2019. Owners may contact Aero Industries customer service at 1-800-535-7563. Aero Industries number for this recall is CAR #33852.
