What's wrong?
The VPD hydraulic suction tube on the 2020-2023 Elgin Sweeper Crosswind 1 (Pb 220) carries hydraulic oil from the Variable Power Divider sump to the hydrostatic pump. That pump depends on a steady oil supply to keep the sweeper's hydrostatic system working and to protect the pump and motor from internal damage.
On affected sweepers, the engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line can sit against the VPD oil suction tube. The braided line is tougher than the tube and can rub a hole through it during normal service. Once air enters the sealed hydraulic system, the oil aerates and the pump cavitates, which damages the charge pump and hydrostatic system. The sweeper can then move only at limited speed.
A small hole can form before the operator feels a loss of performance. The warning sign is an unusual audible noise from the system. A larger hole leads to performance problems and severe hydrostatic-system damage.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Elgin Sweeper Crosswind 1 (Pb 220) is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Elgin Sweeper dealer to schedule the free air-line rerouting and inspection that keeps the braided supply line from rubbing through the oil suction tube.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 22V757 when you call.
- Ask the dealer to inspect and repair any oil suction tube damage before the sweeper returns to service.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Watch for loss of power or limited vehicle speed and pull over safely if either occurs.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Elgin Sweeper technician reroutes the engine air compressor stainless steel braided supply line so it no longer rubs the oil suction tube. The technician also inspects the area and repairs any damage found. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Fontaine's general reimbursement plan gives owners a path to seek reimbursement for covered repairs paid before the notice. Keep repair invoices and ask the Elgin Sweeper service desk or Fontaine customer service how to submit documentation.
