Plain-English summary
Alamo Group Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2022 Schwarze A9SE Monsoon (single engine) street sweepers. The recall addresses a defect in the open center valve manifold of the hopper hydraulic lift system. Under certain conditions, this defect allows hydraulic fluid to continue flowing into the lift system, causing it to rise even after the operator has disengaged it.
An unexpectedly rising lift system can contact an overhead obstruction or cause debris to fall, which increases the risk of injury to the operator or nearby personnel. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.
Dealers will mount additional valves to correct the issue free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 6, 2022. Owners may contact Alamo Group's customer service at 1-830-379-1480 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
