2011 Vactor Jetter-V recalls
Recall 11V-477: Equipment
Problem: Vactor is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 jetter-f and jetter-V sewer cleaners manufactured from february 2010, through april 2011. One of the safety interlocks that are built into the units to protect the operators and assure no vehicle movements can happen during sewer cleaning operations were incorrectly wired.
Risk: As such, the interlock will not prevent the operator from remotely increasing the engine speed while the vehicle is still in gear. Thus, the engine can over power the parking brake causing vehicle movement with the operator outside of the cab, possibly injuring the operator or other persons nearby.
Fix: Vactor notified owners and all 8 vehicles have been repaired in the field by vactor, free of charge. The safety recall began on august 17, 2011. Owners may contact vactor at 1-847-622-7069.
