Defect. Vactor Manufacturing Inc. (Vactor) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 HXX-Fan, 2010-2014 HXX-Prodigy, and 2012-2014 HXX-PD and Guzzler Guzzcavator vacuum excavation trucks. In the affected vehicles, the water heater and/or cabinet that is mounted to the subframe chassis may come loose due to incorrect fasteners being used to mount the water heater.

Risk. If the water heater comes loose and falls off the chassis while the vehicle is being driven, the heater may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Vactor will notify owners, and dealers will correct the mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on May 20, 2014. Owners may contact Vactor at 1-847-622-7069. Vactor's number for this recall is SB-268.

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.
