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-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.
