Transport Canada recalls
06- Electrical#2019517
112 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the starter lock-out relay could be damaged over time, causing it to fail. If this happens, it will not be possible to start the engine. Note: A possible symptom of a damaged starter lock-out relay is a truck that requires multiple attempts to start. Safety Risk: An emergency vehicle with an engine that cannot be started could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Corrective Actions: E-One will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a service center to install a relay and diode kit.
- Accessories#2017590
19 units affected
On certain fire trucks, the retaining ring(s) in the relief valve assembly may not have been made using high grade stainless steel, causing it to deteriorate over time due to frequent exposure to water. If the retaining ring fails, the relief valve may break down and prevent the fire pump from building adequate pressure, which would increase the risk of injury during firefighting operations. Correction: Dealers or certified technicians will inspect and replace the retaining ring(s) as necessary.
- Steering#2017495
24 units affected
On certain vehicles, the steering assist cylinder attachment and adjustment points may not have been tightened to specification at time of assembly. This could result in the steering assist cylinder separating from the steering arm, causing a loss of steering assist and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and fasteners tightened to specification.
- Suspension#2017213
3 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Reyco independent front suspension (IFS), the suspension system may contain loose ball joints. If these are not detected through regular servicing, they may separate, causing suspension failure. This could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be instructed the have the suspension inspected by an E-One certified dealer or technician. Loose ball joints will be replaced.
- Accessories#2016548
15 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with aerial devices, the hydraulic filter head for the hydraulic system may be defective. As a result, the filter head may flex under pressure, allowing the sealing O-ring to be pushed out, resulting in a fluid leak. This could cause reduced aerial/ladder performance, increased power requirements and could potentially result in damage to other hydraulically driven components. This could increase the risk of injury/damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the filter head and replace if necessary.
- Other#2016240
10 units affected
On certain fire trucks, the components that make up the 6" water intake strainer may have been improperly soldered during the manufacturing process. This could lead to degradation in pump performance which could reduce firefighting effectiveness, and potentially increase the risk of injury. Correction: Hale Products recommends an inspection be performed by pulling caps and any suction adapters off of the intake and check the strainer for faulty soldering. If the strainer is found to be missing solder at the joint, Hale Products will send a replacement strainer directly to affected owners.

U.S. NHTSA recalls
11- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY#19V730000
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Typhoon and Cyclone 2, 2013-2014 Cyclone 3, 2014-2019 Quest 2 and 2017 CHSH emergency vehicles equipped with a Cummins ISL, L9, ISX12, X12, ISX15, or X15 engine. The engines do not have a diode in the starter solenoid circuit to improve the longevity of the lock-out relay, resulting in accumulated damage over time.
Risk: The damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting, hindering personnel from responding to emergencies, increasing the risk of an injury.
Remedy: E-One will notify owners, and dealers will install a diode in the starter solenoid circuit and install a new starter lock-out relay, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612. Note: Vehicles previously repaired under recall 18V-019 also need this recall remedy.

E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Cyclone II, 2013-2014 and 2016-2019 Typhoon, 2015-2017 Quest fire trucks. The front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension. The loose shock may contact and damage the steering gear housing, possibly causing a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist.
Risk: A loss of hydraulic steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: E-One has notified owners, and dealers will install a new shock mount bolt and nut, hardened washer, and shims to keep the shocks secured, free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
- SUSPENSION:REAR#18V748000

The affected vehicles may be equipped with certain C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. This transmission sends power to the wheels of an emergency response vehicle or powers an add-on unit such as a water pump used for fighting fires. A component within the shift unit may be damaged and as a result, the operator may not be able to switch the power output.
Risk: If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: E-One will notify owners and will supply a remedy kit that replaces the clevis pin and retaining rings, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.

These pumps have 6" intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production and, as a result, the strainers may come apart during use, allowing parts of the strainer and debris to enter the pump, possibly damaging the pump.
Risk: If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: E-One will notify owners to check the strainer for missing solder at the joints. Any strainers missing solder will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
