Elgin recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. (Elgin) is recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Megawind MX vehicles manufactured January 1, 2009, to February 4, 2015. The affected street sweepers have boom mounting pins that may lose their retaining pins, allowing the mounting pins to move out of position and the boom to move.
What could happen
If the mounting pin moves out of position, the boom may detach from the truck, increasing the risk of crash or personal injury.
The fix
Elgin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the mounting pins and retainers with a revised mounting pin, free of charge. The recall began on July 31, 2015. Owners may contact Elgin customer service at 1-877-342-5374. Elgin's recall number for this campaign is SB-0167.
