NHTSA Recall LETTER
Why is a recall being conducted?
E-ONE has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain models of the following emergency vehicles manufactured Jan. 2008 – Dec. 2015, equipped with Timoney Gen 2 Strider Independent Front Suspensions:
E-ONE Typhoon, E-ONE Cyclone 2, and E-ONE Quest 2
E-ONE has been informed by Timoney Technologies that, on certain Timoney Gen 2 Strider independent front suspension front axle spindles, inconsistent machining operations could cause stress risers in the spindle that could cause long-term durability failure.
Over time and under certain harsh duty cycles, a fatigue crack could develop in the spindle, causing failure of the spindle and possible separation of the wheel from the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.
What are we doing about the problem?
E-ONE will be shipping spindle rebuild kits, necessary tooling and installation instructions to EONE Dealers for them to install the new components on the affected trucks. Vehicles subject to this recall are to be repaired by an E-ONE certified Dealer or technician. E-ONE will compensate the dealer or owner for installing the new components. The components and labor are provided free of charge. The installation should take approximately 4 hours.
What should you do?
If you receive this notification, please contact your E-ONE Dealer or E-ONE at 1-800-627-5050 to schedule an appointment to have the installation of the spindle kits performed.
