05- Brakes#2023019
15 units affected
Issue: On certain street sweeper vehicles, the oil suction tube for the hydrostatic pump could be damaged by contact with the steel braided air supply line. If this happens, the pump could fail and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Note: This recall only affects vehicles built on a Peterbilt 220 chassis. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Fontaine Modification will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to an Elgin Sweeper Company dealership to re-route the steel braided line. The suction tube will be inspected for damage and replaced, if necessary.
- Brakes#2019075
110 units affected
Issue: Certain vehicles were built with an incorrect T-fitting in the air brake system. The fitting could fail and cause an air leak. This could cause the parking brake to suddenly apply. Note: If the parking brake applies, a warning light would appear and a buzzer would sound. Safety Risk: This could cause the vehicle to stop suddenly, which could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the air brake system. If an incorrect T-fitting is found, it will be replaced.
- Other#2019053
4 units affected
Issue: Debris could collect under the cab area and could contact the hot exhaust system. Safety Risk: Debris that contacts the exhaust system could create a risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection. Dealers will insulate the exhaust tubing with heat resistant wrap. Owners will be reminded of the daily cleaning procedures.
- Brakes#2012256
40 units affected
On some street sweepers built on UD Truck chassis, the air brake system may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121- Air Brake Systems. During the conversion into a street sweeper, the primary and secondary circuits may have been tied together and may no longer be isolated. This would cause a loss of both the front and rear service brakes in the event of an air leak in either service brake circuit, which could result in a reduction of braking performance, increased stopping distances, loss of system pressure and/or emergency brake application. Correction: Elgin authorized repair facilities will inspect the air lines and re-route as necessary.
- Brakes#2010289
24 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. These vehicles were built with insufficient air tank reserve capacity, which may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications. This may result in reduced braking performance which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install a brake timing kit and, if necessary, an additional air tank to increase air reservoir capacity.
