Defect. Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. (Elgin) is recalling certain model year 2014 Elgin Eagle 4MF, and Road Wizard 4MW street sweepers manufactured October 3, 2014, to November 26, 2014. Due to the routing, the battery and the alternator wires may conduct higher current than designed, resulting in wire failure and charging system loss.

Risk. The excessive current may result in melted wires and an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Elgin has notified owners, and dealers will replace and reroute the affected wiring, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2014. Owners may contact Elgin customer service at 1-877-342-5374. Elgin's number for this recall is SB-0160.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
