CAPTO Safety & Inspection Notice

Please be advised that CMC is issuing a Safety and Inspection Notice for the CAPTO™.

Read Safety & Inspection Notice
Watch Inspection Procedure Video
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 users 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 users also inspect the pulley fl**ge while inspecting the set screw position.

Thank you for your continued support and trust!
