E-ONE is recalling 2008-2011 Quest, Cyclone II, and Typhoon vehicles because the electronic stability control system may malfunction, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a defect in a safety-critical system (Electronic Stability Control) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries, fatalities, or specific agency classification that would mandate a higher score.

Plain-English summary

E-ONE, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 Quest, Cyclone II, and Typhoon vehicles manufactured between May 1, 2008, and November 28, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) modules. The recall affects 220 units.

Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination may adversely affect the ESC system's slip angle calculation. This may cause the system to incorrectly perceive an over-steering situation and apply the outer front wheel brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable. If the driver is slow to react to this intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.

E-ONE will notify owners and is working with Meritor Wabco to replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on December 16, 2011. Owners may contact E-ONE Customer Service at 1-800-627-5050 or Meritor On Track Customer Service at 1-866-668-7221.
