Defect description

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.

Safety risk

Hydrostatic pump failure can cause a loss of power, limiting vehicle speed, and increasing the risk of a crash.
