21V332000915 vehicles affected

The problem
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Cyclone 2, Cyclone N, Quest 2, Typhoon, and Typhoon N vehicles. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.

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.

The front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension. The loose shock may contact and damage the steering gear housing, possibly causing a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist.
The risk
A loss of hydraulic steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
E-One has notified owners, and dealers will install a new shock mount bolt and nut, hardened washer, and shims to keep the shocks secured, free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.

Exterior lighting: brake lights

18V606000146 vehicles affected

The problem
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Cyclone II, Typhoon and Quest II emergency vehicles, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
