E-One Recalls Cyclone II Fire Trucks Due to Brake Fire Risk
E-One is recalling 2011-2013 Cyclone II fire fighting vehicles because brake chambers may leak, causing brakes to drag and overheat, which could lead to a fire.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake system) where the source explicitly states that overheated components could result in a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Cyclone II fire fighting vehicles manufactured between April 22, 2011, and February 8, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that use piston air parking brake actuators.
In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure, allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. This dragging can cause the brake components to overheat. Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
E-One will notify owners, and the actuators will be replaced as needed, free of charge. The recall began on May 6, 2013. Owners may contact E-One at 1-800-627-5050; the campaign number is 4EN. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
