Summary

Global Environmental Products is recalling 5 of its 2021-2022 M4 series sweeper vehicles, including models M4, R4, M4 HSD, and M4 CNG. The steering gears in these vehicles may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause them to fracture and fail. Global Environmental Products will replace the faulty steering gears with new ones free of charge.

Risk

A fractured steering gear can result in a sudden and total loss of steering control. This failure significantly increases the risk of a crash while operating the sweeper vehicle.
