For the 1997 Vactor 2103. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Vactor been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Vactor dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

April 13, 2010NHTSA 10V146000480 vehicles potentially affected

Structure › Body

Summary: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
