The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (suspension component separation) that can lead to loss of steering assist and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2014-2019 Cyclone II, 2013-2014 and 2016-2019 Typhoon, and 2015-2017 Quest fire trucks. The recall addresses a defect where the front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension.
If the shock separates, it may contact and damage the steering gear housing. This damage can cause a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist. A loss of hydraulic steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.
E-One has notified owners, and dealers will install a new shock mount bolt and nut, hardened washer, and shims to keep the shocks secured, free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
