What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Cyclone 2 and Typhoon ambulances. The lower shock mount bracket may cause the U-bolts to bind and break, possibly preventing the rear axle from remaining secured.

The risk

The unsecured rear axle may shift sideways, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of crash.

The remedy

E-One has notified owners, and dealers replace any of the affected lower shock mount brackets, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2020. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-888-237-1751.

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.
