Summary

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.

Consequence

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

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.

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.
