Elgin Sweeper Company T-fitting installed on the air brake system may fail, causing air to leak, potentially resulting in the parking brake applying unexpectedly.
The short version
Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.
The T-fitting installed on the air brake system may fail, causing air to leak, potentially resulting in the parking brake applying unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 106, "Brake Hoses."
If the parking brake applies unexpectedly, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Elgin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the street sweepers and replace the T-fittings, as necessary, free of charge.
