ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Vactor Manufacturing (Vactor) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Vactor 2100i vehicles manufactured with RECIRC or flusher as original equipment or retrofitted. While in Recirculation (RECIRC) or Flusher mode and then switched to Jetting mode, the safety interlocks may fail resulting in unintentional vehicle movement.
- What it can cause
- Unintentional vehicle movement increases the risk of crash.
- What the dealer does
- Vactor will notify owners, and dealers will provide software updates, free of charge. The recall began February 17, 2020. Owners may contact Vactor customer service at 1-877-342-5374. Vactor's number for this recall is SB-0304.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 777 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Vactor vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in September 2013 as 13V434000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Vactor Manufacturing with NHTSA on January 29, 2020 as campaign 20V050000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
