Recall 21V00G000

Engine And Engine Cooling › Exhaust System › Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe — Schwarze · reported 22 Dec 2021 · 31 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Alamo Group Inc. (Alamo) is recalling certain 2012-2021 Schwarze A7 CNG, A8 CNG, and A9 CNG street sweepers mounted on Freightliner M2-112 chassis and equipped with a horizontal exhaust system. Lightweight debris, such as leaves, may build up in front of the sweeping head and accumulate against the chassis exhaust system.

The risk

Debris against the exhaust system increases the risk of a fire.

The fix

Dealers will install an exhaust tailpipe extension tube, free of charge. Owners notification letters were mailed on January 14, 2022. Owners may contact Alamo Group customer service at 1-830-379-1480.

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.nhtsa.gov.
