Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2013-2019 Typhoon and Cyclone 2, 2013-2014 Cyclone 3, 2014-2019 Quest 2, and 2017 CHSH emergency vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with Cummins ISL, L9, ISX12, X12, ISX15, or X15 engines. The recall affects 1,603 vehicles.
The defect involves the absence of 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 and increase the risk of injury.
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 November 15, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612. Note that vehicles previously repaired under recall 18V-019 also require this remedy.
