2020–2023 Elgin Sweeper Crosswind 1 (pb 220): Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V757000 · 56 units potentially affected · filed Oct 10, 2022
What's wrong
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.
Why it matters
Hydrostatic pump failure can cause a loss of power, limiting vehicle speed, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
