2013 ELGIN PELICAN
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Elgin Sweeper Company is recalling certain 2013 model year Pelican street sweepers equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The recalled seat belts have a defect where the latch plate can remain partially engaged after the release button is pressed, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. This condition could hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle quickly during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Elgin, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in early July 2014. Owners may contact Elgin at 1-847-741-5370.
