What this recall means for you
Certain E-One Pumper fire trucks built on a Ford F-550 chassis, made between January 2012 and June 2016, have driveline-driven (split-shaft) pumps whose bearings and drive shafts may loosen because of high vibration. This vibration can occur when the vehicle is driven above 65 MPH.
If the bearings or drive shafts loosen, parts could fall off the vehicle and become road hazards, the pump may fail to work for firefighting, or the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. E-One will notify owners, and Ford dealers will recalibrate the vehicle to limit its speed to 65 MPH. Owners can contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
