What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Typhoon and Cyclone II and 2014-2016 Quest emergency vehicles. The ball joints on the independent front suspension (IFS) modules can loosen and separate, leading to a partial loss of steering.

The risk

A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, clean and secure the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2017. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
