The problem
Schwarze Industries, Inc. (Schwarze) is recalling certain 2013-2017 A7 Tornado, A8 Twister, A9 Monsoon, and M6 Avalanche street sweepers. The air brake systems on these vehicles may have been manufactured with the wrong fittings, causing the brake lines to leak air, possibly resulting in the vehicle stopping unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
The risk
If the brakes apply and the vehicle stops unexpectedly, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Schwarze will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incompatible air brake line fittings, free of charge. The recall began on April 13, 2017. Owners may contact Schwarze customer service at 1-800-879-7934.
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.
