E-One recall: Suspension
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
