Affected Products:

• CAPTO 13 MM Red (Part #336013)
• Serial Numbers: 23191-001 through 26085-034
CMC identified that, in certain units, the thread locker securing the cam set screw may not have fully cured during production. While there have been no reported field failures, CMC is requesting customers inspect their devices out of an abundance of caution.
As always, if you purchased your equipment through IPS and have any questions, our team is happy to help.
CMC is issuing a Product Safety & Inspection for the CAPTO™.
Through our internal inspection processes, CMC has found certain instances where the thread locker that secures the CAPTO cam set screw may not have fully cured. This potentially affects CAPTO 11 MM Gray (Part # 336011) and CAPTO 13 MM Red (Part # 336013) models from serial number 23191-001 through 26085-034. If the set screw becomes fully unthreaded, the cam spring may fall out, causing the cam to not function as intended. There have been no reports of any set screws coming loose in the field, but out of an abundance of caution we request that customers inspect for the presence and position of the set screw to ensure that it is installed properly. We have corrected this issue for current and future CAPTO production.
The same thread locker is also used as a secondary method to secure the pulley fl**ge. While we do not expect any issues, CMC still advises that customers also inspect the pulley fl**ge while inspecting the set screw position.
If you have a CAPTO, please immediately inspect your device using the inspection steps included in the Inspection & Safety Notice.
