                        Don't know about a recoverly version, I thought they used old M-60's for that. I know that there is a mine clearing version, the Panther II, based on the M1 chasis.

                        There was a proposed Abrams based recovery vehicle, but it was never produced. The current US heavy recovery vehicle is the M88A1 and A2. Here they are:
                        M88A1

                        M88A2


                        And a link to more info on it, http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m88a1e1.htm
