E-One Recalls 2017-2019 Emergency Vehicles Due to Brake Light Wiring Defect

E-One is recalling 2017-2019 Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest II emergency vehicles because Whelen accessory brake lights may illuminate without the brake pedal being pressed.

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 where the defect (incorrect brake light illumination) could increase the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2017-2019 Cyclone II, Typhoon, and Quest II emergency vehicles equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. The recall affects 146 vehicles.

Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

E-One will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
