What's wrong?
The exhaust system on a 2017 Elgin Crosswind routes hot engine gases away from the engine and cab area. It also carries heat through pipes and exhaust components mounted below and around the cab, so the area around it needs to stay clear of loose material.
In this recall, the problem is debris collecting under the cab area on a special limited build of the Crosswind street sweeper. Street sweepers work around dust, leaves, and other road debris, and that material can reach hot exhaust surfaces. If it stays there, the exhaust heat can set the debris on fire under the cab.
There is no warning sign before failure. An operator should not count on a light, alarm, smell, or change in how the sweeper drives before debris reaches the exhaust area.
