Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 E-One Pumpers manufactured between January 1, 2012, and June 23, 2016. These vehicles were built on a Ford F-550 chassis and equipped with driveline-driven ("split-shaft") pumps. The recall affects 17 vehicles.
The defect involves the bearings and drive shafts of the pumps, which may loosen due to high vibration levels, such as those created when the vehicle is driven above 65 MPH. If these components loosen, parts may fall from the vehicle, becoming road hazards. Additionally, the pump may fail to function for firefighting, or the vehicle may lose control, increasing the risk of a crash.
E-One will notify owners, and Ford dealers will recalibrate the vehicle to be speed limited to 65 MPH, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
