Plain-English summary

E-One, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 Tradition, Cyclone II, and Typhoon fire fighting vehicles manufactured between January 1, 2010, and July 1, 2011. The recall involves vehicles equipped with Trimark cab door mount bracket part numbers 28141-01 and 28142-01.

If the mounting fasteners are not at the proper torque value, the outside door handle mount bracket may potentially rotate out of position. This defect may cause the door system to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components." Consequently, the door may not stay closed and could open without warning during a crash, allowing persons or objects to fall from the vehicle, possibly resulting in injury.

E-One is working with Trimark to notify vehicle owners using E-One letterhead. Repairs will be performed free of charge by E-One service centers or by Trimark personnel as needed. The safety recall began on July 22, 2011. Owners may contact Trimark at 1-641-394-1095 or E-One at 1-352-861-3223.
