Fontaine Modification is recalling 56 model year 2020-2023 Elgin Crosswind 1 and Elgin Whirlwind 1 sweepers built on Peterbilt 220 chassis. A stainless steel air compressor line can rub against and damage an oil suction tube, which leads to the failure of the hydrostatic pump. Fontaine will provide instructions to Elgin Sweeper Company dealers to reroute the air line and repair any damage at no cost to owners.
If the hydrostatic pump fails, the vehicle can experience a sudden loss of power and limited speeds. This unexpected change in vehicle performance increases the risk of a crash while the sweeper is in operation.
