The defect
ON CERTAIN VENDOR CARTS, THE TIRES CAN CONTACT THE UNDERSIDE WHILE MOVING.
The risk
THIS COULD CAUSE THE CART TO TIP OVER SIDEWAYS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy
QUALITY STREET CARTS WILL SEND OUT 2" X 3/4" STEEL SPACES THAT MUST BE WELDED IN PLACE ABOVE THE SLIPPER SPRING FLAT IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE GAP BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE TIRES AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CART. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT QUALITY STREET CARTS AT 1-866-364-2278.
