Alamo Group Inc. is recalling 51 units of its 2018-2021 AllVac AVRB-18 vehicles. Vibrations during vacuum operations can cause the exhaust silencer welds to crack, which may lead to the silencer completely detaching from the vehicle while it is in motion. Owners will receive a free inspection and repair, which includes welding a new c-shape bracket to secure the silencer to the power frame.
A detached exhaust silencer can fall onto the roadway and become a significant road hazard. This increases the risk of a crash for the vehicle itself or for other motorists who may strike the detached part.
