Summary

VACTOR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1992 THROUGH 2010 MODEL 2103 SEWER CLEANERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN DECEMBER 1992 AND MARCH 2010.

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.
