Defect. Elgin Sweeper Company Inc. (Elgin) is recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Megawind MX vehicles manufactured January 1, 2009, to February 4, 2015. The affected street sweepers have boom mounting pins that may lose their retaining pins, allowing the mounting pins to move out of position and the boom to move.

Risk. If the mounting pin moves out of position, the boom may detach from the truck, increasing the risk of crash or personal injury.

Remedy. 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. Elgin's recall number for this campaign is SB-0167.

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.
