E-One Recalls Fire Trucks with Corroding Pressure Relief Valve Rings

E-One is recalling 298 fire-fighting vehicles because corroding rings may cause pressure relief valves to open, reducing water pressure.

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 risk-of-harm product (fire-fighting equipment) where the defect could hinder emergency response and increase injury risk, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2013-2017 E-One Cyclone II, Quest, and Typhoon; 2014-2017 International 4400; 2013-2015 International 7400; 2014-2017 Freightliner M2; 2016-2017 Kenworth T370; and 2015 Kenworth T800 vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting.

The recall addresses a defect where rings securing the pressure relief valves may corrode over time after exposure to water. This corrosion can cause the ring to fail, allowing the pressure relief valve to open and reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting. A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

E-One will notify owners, and a certified dealer or technician will install a stainless steel retaining ring free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
