NHTSA Recall 15V646000
Filed by E-One Incorporated. Component: Air Bags. Reported 2015-10-13. An estimated 18 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest emergency vehicles manufactured October 28, 2014, to August 29, 2015. The affected vehicles may have left the production facility with a harness for the front air bag system disconnected.
Risk
If the air bag harness is not connected to the air bag control system, the front air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What the manufacturer will do
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bag harness, connecting it as necessary, and test the system for proper operation, free of charge. All affected vehicles have been repaired. Therefore an owner notification letter will not be issued for this recall campaign. The recall is expected to begin during November 2015. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.
