The defect
Vactor Manufacturing (Vactor) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Vactor Jetter vehicles. In certain conditions, the idle may unexpected rise, allowing the affected vehicles to over power the parking brake.
The risk
If the parking brake cannot keep the vehicle stationary, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
