E-One X-036 Recall 18V057: Fire pump end caps can fail, causing water loss or sudden discharge

NHTSA campaign 18V057, reported January 9, 2018, 7 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles have flat end caps on the fire pump manifold that can fatigue over time and fail. The failure can cause water to suddenly discharge or reduce the water pressure available for fighting fires.

A sudden discharge of water can injure firefighters working close to the pump, and a partial or total loss of pressure can put firefighters and the public at increased risk of injury during firefighting operations. Owners of affected vehicles should contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 and check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.

E-One will notify owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the flat end cap and replace it with a domed end cap kit at no cost to the owner, though E-One will not cover labor compensation.

The repair is normally free at an authorized dealer.
