Recall 17V540000
STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
Defect Description
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2015 Cyclone II and Quest II emergency vehicles, equipped with certain Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
Safety Consequence
If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary. If the tie rod stud and knuckle on units cannot be sufficiently torqued, the dealer will replace the knuckle and tie rod end assembly, free of charge. The recall began on October 5, 2017. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.
