E-One Recalls Cyclone II and Typhoon Vehicles for Electrical Fire Risk

E-One is recalling 2014-2016 Cyclone II and Typhoon vehicles because a power control module defect may cause a short circuit, leading to electrical damage or fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 risk of fire and loss of vehicle function (headlights) which increases crash risk, but the source text does not report any actual injuries, deaths, or confirmed fires, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

E-One Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 E-One Cyclone II and Typhoon vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between January 1, 2014, and May 31, 2016, and are equipped with specific Class 1 Es-Key power control modules made by Hale Products.

The affected power control modules may not provide sufficient circuit protection depending on their software and installation combination. This defect can result in a short circuit, which may damage the vehicle's electrical system components. Such damage can cause a loss of headlights, increasing the risk of a crash, or increase the risk of a fire.

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.
