SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

October 2022

Dear Elgin Sweeper Dealer:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Fontaine Modificationยฎ has decided that a defect which relates to the installation of the Variable Power Divider (VPD) exists in certain Elginยฎ Crosswind 1ยฎ and Elgin Whirlwind 1ยฎ sweepers manufactured from December 2018 through June 2022 with PeterbilteBay logo chassis. The chassis engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line may rub through the oil suction tube running from the VPD sump to the hydrostatic pump. If the suction tube fails, cavitation to the hydrostatic pump will occur and cause severe damage to the hydrostatic system. This could cause the vehicle to move at limited speed. All Elginยฎ Crosswind 1ยฎ and Elginยฎ Whirlwind 1ยฎ sweepers built between June 2019 and May 2022 with PeterbilteBay logo chassis will need to be repaired to resolve this issue.

 

WHAT WE WILL DO

Fontaine Modificationยฎ will cover the cost to relocate the engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line away from the VPD oil suction tube. The standard repair time is 2.0 hours for a standard unit with no auxiliary water tanks or platforms mounted behind the cab. Fontaine will allow an additional 1.5 hours to remove and replace water tanks.

Please note: Because this issue can result in severe system failure and render the truck out of service for an extended period of time, this recall needs to be performed immediately.

Fontaine strongly recommends that all units are inspected/repaired before 1/31/2023 due to the potential damage to the VPD. This will help with your customer’s unit not being out of service an extended amount of time.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

If you are contacted by a customer for this recall, please contact Fontaine Modificationยฎ at 800.989.2113 or [email protected] with the last eight of the VIN of the chassis, to receive an warranty authorization number. Inspect the engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line, to verify if it is touching the VPD oil suction tube. Please document the before and after of the relocation of the air line with pictures to send with invoice to Fontaine. See the attached work instructions for relocating the engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line. Please inspect the VPD oil suction tube for any damage before removal.

 


FNT-103014025

PeterbilteBay logo 220 Air Line Relocation

 

Purpose:

This document proposes the evaluation criteria and subsequent repair requirements related to possible interference between the VPD suction oil line and the chassis air compressor discharge line on PeterbilteBay logo 220 chassis used on Elgin Crosswind1 and Whirlwind1 sweepers. Inspection of the units will determine which condition(s) exist and what repairs are required.

 


Chronology :

Fontaine received notification from Marmon Herrington of a unit that had a defective pump and motor. Fontaine installed the Variable Power Divider (VPD) on this unit. During the investigation of the root cause of the failure, it was found that the OEM stainless steel braided air compressor supply line was laying on top of the VPD hydraulic oil suction tube. This unit was in service for over 3 years with the stainless steel braided air compressor supply line in contact with the VPD hydraulic oil suction tube and wore a small hole in the suction tube. This caused air to enter the sealed hydraulic system causing damage to the pump and motor of the VPD.
