T-Fitting Failure Causing Air Leak/FMVSS 121, 106
If the parking brake applies unexpectedly, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Summary
Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. (Elgin) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Elgin Broom Bear, Crosswind, Eagle, Road Wizard, and Whirl Wind street sweepers. 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.”
Remedy
Elgin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the street sweepers and replace the T-fittings, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Elgin customer service at 1-877-342-5374.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.

Aquilaplain 12FT Semi Truck Air Lines Kit 3 In 1 Air Hoses Power Cord Set
- 【What You Get】A Complete Semi Truck Air Line Kit includes 12 FT 3-in-1 Air and Electric Lines, tender spring kit, 2 stainless steel hooks(one pre-installed), 2 gladhands, 2 gladhand handles, gladhand holder and 4 rubber seals. This standard 3 in 1 semi air lines set is compatible with most of semi trucks, trailers and tractors. The length of 12 feet is enough to reach the corresponding interfaces.
- 【132 100% Oxygen-Free Copper Wires】Our 7-way electrical trailer cord features a standard zinc die-cast plug for efficient power transmission from the engine to your truck or trailer. Oxygen-free copper has 3 key advantages: low electrical resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and excellent ductility. This means you get outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, and the cord can handle repeated bending without breaking. Thickened insulation between the 7 lines ensures your lights, turn signals, and brakes function reliably. The surface TPU jacket is 3 times more wear-resistant than PVC and offers superior weather resistance.
- 【No Leak Air Lines】Don't let air leakage disrupt your haul. Our 3-Layer heavy duty air hose is designed to resist cracking, swelling, and thinning from prolonged use. The inner and outer layers are high-purity rubber with added carbon black. Black rubber has a longer service life than red and blue rubber. This is why car tires are almost always black. A layer of woven is added between the two layers of rubber, so that the hose is not easy to kink under pressure. The burst strength is 1087 PSI. With standard DOT brass fittings, you can rely on an excellent seal and reinforced thread for added security.
- 【Strong Gladhands & Grips】We use sturdy ABS material instead of red and blue rubber grips that are easily aged. This is a fixed grip and is secured with screws. No need to worry about the grip falling off or getting damaged. The red and blue gladhands are easy to differentiate, while the extension handle on the air line hose provides added leverage for coupling and uncoupling. Constructed with rugged anodized aluminum and die-cast aluminum with stainless steel wear plates, they are corrosion-resistant and built to withstand heavy use.
- 【99% of the Areas Will Not Affect Its Performance】This set works from -85°F to 220°F. We cut sections of power line and air hose and placed them into the test chamber. The temperature was adjusted to -85°F and 220°F. After 48 hours of testing, these sample were not deformed. The combination of high-quality materials such as TPU, black rubber, stainless steel, brass and aluminum gives this product excellent weather resistance. And its black rubber warp not only insulates your electric line and air lines from sunlight, twist and abrasion, but also helps to keep everything neat and organized.
