- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Typhoon and Cyclone 2, 2013-2014 Cyclone 3, 2014-2019 Quest 2 and 2017 CHSH emergency vehicles equipped with a Cummins ISL, L9, ISX12, X12, ISX15, or X15 engine. The engines do not have a diode in the starter solenoid circuit to improve the longevity of the lock-out relay, resulting in accumulated damage over time.
- The risk
- The damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting, hindering personnel from responding to emergencies, increasing the risk of an injury.
- The fix
- E-One will notify owners, and dealers will install a diode in the starter solenoid circuit and install a new starter lock-out relay, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612. Note: Vehicles previously repaired under recall 18V-019 also need this recall remedy.

Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
- The risk
- A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

- The fix
- E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the filter and head assembly, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.
- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling one model year 2015 Typhoon emergency vehicle manufactured March 16, 2015, to October 30, 2015, equipped with a Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreen manufactured by Hale Products. The touchscreen may experience false switch activations that can happen without the operator's knowledge causing accessories to turn on or off.
- The risk
- Uintended turning on or off of any or multiple accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- E-One has notified the owner and updated touchscreen software has been installed, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-904-237-1122.
- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cyclone II vehicles manufactured July 31, 2015, to June 12, 2016, 2015-2016 Typhoon vehicles manufactured September 21, 2015, to July 27, 2016, 2015 Freightliner M2 vehicles manufactured November 3, 2015, and 2015 International 7400 vehicles manufactured November 3, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with certain C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. This transmission sends power to the wheels of an emergency response vehicle or powers an add-on unit such as a water pump used for fighting fires. A component within the shift unit may be damaged and as a result, the operator may not be able to switch the power output.
- The risk
- If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- E-One will notify owners and will supply a remedy kit that replaces the clevis pin and retaining rings, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 E-One Cyclone II and Typhoon vehicles manufactured January 1, 2014, to May 31, 2016, equipped with certain Class 1 Es-Key power control modules manufactured by Hale Products. The affected power control modules may not provide sufficient circuit protection depending on their combination of software and installation, possibly resulting in a short circuit.
- The risk
- A short circuit may result in damage to components of the vehicle's electrical system, affecting their function such as causing a loss of headlights, increasing the risk of a crash. A short circuit may also increase the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- E-One will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-904-237-1122, or Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cyclone II, Quest II and Typhoon emergency vehicles manufactured May 1, 2015, to March 31, 2016, equipped with pumps to provide pressurized water to aid in fighting fires. These pumps have 6" intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production and, as a result, the strainers may come apart during use, allowing parts of the strainer and debris to enter the pump, possibly damaging the pump.
- The risk
- If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
- The fix
- E-One will notify owners to check the strainer for missing solder at the joints. Any strainers missing solder will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
- The problem
- E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest emergency vehicles manufactured October 28, 2014, to August 29, 2015. The affected vehicles may have left the production facility with a harness for the front air bag system disconnected.
- The risk
- If the air bag harness is not connected to the air bag control system, the front air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bag harness, connecting it as necessary, and test the system for proper operation, free of charge. All affected vehicles have been repaired. Therefore an owner notification letter will not be issued for this recall campaign. The recall is expected to begin during November 2015. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.
