E-One Recalls 2018-2020 Typhoon and Cyclone II Ambulances for Axle Defect

E-One is recalling 2018-2020 Typhoon and Cyclone II ambulances because a bracket defect may cause the rear axle to become unsecured, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (rear axle securing) that explicitly states a risk of loss of control and crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2018-2020 Cyclone 2 and Typhoon ambulances. The recall addresses a defect in the lower shock mount bracket, which may cause the U-bolts to bind and break. This failure can prevent the rear axle from remaining secured to the vehicle.

If the rear axle becomes unsecured, it may shift sideways. This movement can result in a loss of control of the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. The recall began on September 21, 2020.

E-One has notified owners of the defect. Dealers will replace any affected lower shock mount brackets free of charge. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-888-237-1751 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
