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.
Also Trumpeter is releasing a 1/35 M1 Abrams Panther II mine sweeper, take a look here:
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
