What is wrong
Aero Industries, Inc. (Aero) is recalling certain Conestoga XP sliding trailer tarping systems manufactured October 15, 2014, to January 19, 2016. In the affected tarping systems, the rear aerodynamic device (RAD) may separate from the rear of the tarping system, due to rivet failure.
What can happen
If the RAD detaches from the trailer it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Aero will notify owners, and will replace the rivets with higher strength bolts and nuts, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2016. Owners may contact Aero customer service at 1-800-535-7563.
