What's wrong?
The auxiliary hydraulic pump on 2006-2012 Elgin Crosswind J street sweepers moves hydraulic fluid under pressure so the sweeper equipment can operate. Hydraulic pressure is what lets work equipment respond when the operator calls for auxiliary functions during sweeping. The pump has to keep fluid moving without building unsafe heat.
On affected Crosswind J sweepers, extended use of that auxiliary hydraulic pump overheats the pump. Once heat builds past what the pump can tolerate, the pump fails and the auxiliary hydraulic system loses the pressure it needs to run the equipment. The recall is tied to the pump's ability to survive long periods of auxiliary operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. An operator first notices the problem when the auxiliary hydraulic equipment stops responding or loses function during use.
