2003 Vactor 2103 recalls
Recall 10V-146: Structure
Problem: Vactor is recalling certain model year 1992 through 2010 model 2103 sewer cleaners manufactured between december 1992 and march 2010. The hair pin of the mounting pin that attaches the debris body hoist (Dump) to the sub-frame is not sufficient to retain the mounting pin for the entire life expectancy of the vehicle.
Risk: If the hair pin comes out of the retaining pin, the retaining pin can work itself out of the mount. Should this occur while the dump body is in the up position, it could tilt over backwards, possibly injuring the operator or personnel near the vehicle.
Fix: Vactor will notify owners and replace the hair pin with a cotter pin free of charge. The safety recall began on may 14, 2010. Owners may contact vactor at 1-847-622-7069.
Recall 07V-364: Structure
Problem: On certain sewer cleaners, there may be a defect in the debris body cylinder mount and sub-frame cross tube where the mount attaches that could result in a structural failure.
Risk: Personnel near the sewer cleaner could be injured and property damage could occur.
Fix: Dealers will add a reinforcing cross tube and cylinder mount plates will be installed free of charge. The recall began on august 23, 2007. Owners may contact vactor at 1-815-672-3171.
