NHTSA Recall 16V845000
Filed by E-One Incorporated. Component: Suspension. Reported 2016-11-22. An estimated 16 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 tandem axle Cyclone vehicles manufactured July 15, 2010, to June 12, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with FIREMAAX suspension and aerial jack legs. While the vehicle is parked with the jack legs extended, the FIREMAAX suspension air bags may lose pressure. When the jack legs are retracted, the air bags may be wrinkled, resulting in damage and the possible failure of the pressurized suspension air bags.
Risk
Sudden suspension air bag failure can result in a reduction of vehicle stability and handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will install a pressure protection valve on the exhaust port of the height control valve, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2017. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
