- The defect
- Alamo Group Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2022 Schwarze A9SE Monsoon (single engine) street sweepers. The open center valve manifold of the hopper hydraulic lift system allows hydraulic fluid to continue to flow into the lift system under certain conditions, which can result in the lift system continuing to rise after the operator has disengaged it.
- What it can cause
- An unexpectedly rising lift system can contact an overhead obstruction or cause debris to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will mount additional valves, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 6, 2022. Owners may contact Alamo Group's customer service at 1-830-379-1480.
- 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.nhtsa.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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Schwarze vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V816000. 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 Alamo Group Inc. with NHTSA on October 11, 2022 as campaign 22V761000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
