Elgin Megawind-MX Street Sweepers Recalled for Boom Mounting Pin Defect

Elgin is recalling 2009-2015 Megawind-MX street sweepers because boom mounting pins may lose retaining pins, allowing the boom to detach and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may detach, explicitly increasing the risk of crash or personal injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Megawind MX street sweepers manufactured between January 1, 2009, and February 4, 2015. The recall affects 66 vehicles.

The affected vehicles have boom mounting pins that may lose their retaining pins. This allows the mounting pins to move out of position, which can cause the boom to move or detach from the truck. If the boom detaches, it increases the risk of a crash or personal injury.

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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
