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 (emergency vehicle) where the defect may prevent starting, hindering emergency response, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.
Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2013-2017 Quest II, Cyclone II, and Typhoon emergency vehicles equipped with Cummins ISL, L9, ISX15, or X15 engines. The recall involves 1,147 vehicles.
The affected engines lack a diode in the starter solenoid circuit, which is necessary to improve the longevity of the lock-out relay. This omission results in accumulated damage over time. The damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting, which could hinder personnel from responding to emergencies.
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will install a diode in the starter solenoid circuit and a new starter lock-out relay free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
