Transport Canada recalls

Structure#2024257May 1, 2024
137 units affected
Issue: On certain street sweeper vehicles, the pin securing the rear door hydraulic cylinder may not have been manufactured properly. Over time, the pin could corrode and fail when the door is in the open position. If this happens, the door could fall and close suddenly. Safety Risk: A rear door that falls suddenly could increase the risk of injury for the operator and people nearby. Corrective Actions: Bucher Municipal North America will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the pin. The dealer will also install a retaining bracket to the rear door, affix warning labels on the street sweeper, and provide you with updated operation and maintenance instructions.
Structure#2016533October 27, 2016
35 units affected
On certain street sweeper vehicles, cracks may form around the tipping hinges. If left unchecked, cracks around the tipping hinges could result in the hopper detaching from the chassis, particularly if the sweeper is overloaded. If the hopper were to detach from chassis, it could possibly strike the operator or bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect around the tipping brackets for damage or cracking, and will install a reaction beam to increase the torsional stiffness of the body and stabilize the tipping pivot brackets.
