Recall 17V367000
Parking Brake — Vactor · reported 5 Jun 2017 · 37 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Vactor Manufacturing (Vactor) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Vactor Jetter vehicles. In certain conditions, the idle may unexpected rise, allowing the affected vehicles to over power the parking brake.
The risk
If the parking brake cannot keep the vehicle stationary, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Vactor has notified the affected owners, and dealers will install diodes to keep the idle from rising, free of charge. The recall began on May 30, 2017. Owners may contact Vactor customer service at 1-847-622-7069.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
