E-One Typhoon Recall 18V019: Emergency Vehicle May Fail to Start, Delaying Response

NHTSA campaign 18V019, reported January 9, 2018, 1,147 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain E-One Cyclone II, Typhoon, and Quest II emergency vehicles equipped with a Cummins ISL, L9, ISX15, or X15 engine lack a diode in the starter solenoid circuit. Over time, this leaves the starter lock-out relay vulnerable to accumulated damage.

A damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting. For fire, rescue, and other emergency crews, this could hinder personnel from responding to emergencies when the vehicle is needed most.

The repair is free. E-One will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a diode in the starter solenoid circuit and replace the starter lock-out relay at no charge. Owners can contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
