Fix Cargo Shell
Latch Plate Failure
I
f your M1151, M1151A1, M1151A1W/B1, and M1167 HMMWVs have failing cargo shell
forward latch plate assemblies, you might be a little frustrated. Here’s what you can do to
prevent the failures and ease the frustration.
If your HMMWV’s hatch doesn’t close smoothly during PMCS, tell your mechanic. And
make sure you’re opening and closing it the right way.
Also, ensure the forward latches are fully engaged with the forward strikers before
opening the cargo door from the rear position. That should help protect the cargo shell
forward latch plate assembly.
But if you do all that and there’s still a problem, your HMMWV’s cargo shell forward
latch plate assembly may have failed.
You can’t find replacement procedures in the TM yet, but you can get them from TACOM
LCMC. Just send your unit information and request to:

A
loss of power steering Fuid will cause the MaxxPro to steer hard or erratic during
operation—or not at all!
The culprit is usually the
vehicle’s original power steering
reservoir cap, NSN 2590-01-
556-5316. It’s a known leaker.
To stop Fuid loss, replace the
old cap with a new style cap.
The new cap, NSN 6680-20-
006-4251, has three bafFes on
its dipstick that keep Fuid from
seeping past the cap.
So eyeball the cap you have
on your MaxxPro. If it’s the old-
style cap, replace it now.
