E-One Typhoon, Cyclone: Steering

Affects E-One Typhoon, Cyclone · 2022–2023 — about 10 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On a small number of fire trucks, the tie rod end bracket on the steering assist cylinder may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, this could cause a reduction of steering assist and/or the steering may make clunking noises. This can cause a change in steering feel and an increase in steering effort. Safety Risk: A change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: E-ONE will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the steering assist bracket and, if necessary, replace it.
