NHTSA recall campaign
22V757000
What was wrong
Defect
Fontaine Modification (Fontaine) is recalling certain Fontaine-modified 2020-2023 Elgin Crosswind 1 and Elgin Whirlwind 1 sweepers built on Peterbilt 220 chassis. The engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line may rub through the oil suction tube running from the Variable Power Divider (VPD) sump to the hydrostatic pump, causing the pump to fail.
Risk
Hydrostatic pump failure can cause a loss of power, limiting vehicle speed, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Fontaine will provide remedy instructions to Elgin Sweeper Company dealers to reroute the air line and inspect and repair any damage, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2022. Owners may contact Fontaine's customer service at 1-800-366-8246.
