2013 E-ONE RESCUE Recall

Campaign:

15V529000 on 08/17/2015

Component:

Equipment:electrical

Manufactured:

05/04/2012 - 05/15/2015

Affected:

164

Defect:

E-one incorporated (e-one) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 e-one pumpers, tankers, and rescue vehicles manufactured using international truck chassis from may 5, 2012, to may 16, 2015. the vehicles are equipped with a manual master body power disconnect switch that activates various side and rear lights as well as the sirens. however, the switch was not linked to the vehicle start circuit, such that an operator may operate the vehicle without the requisite lighting.

Consequence:

An emergency vehicle operated without side and rear lighting, its sirens, or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash and injury to its and other vehicle occupants.

Correction:

E-one will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay that will interlock with the engine start circuit so the vehicle cannot be operated until the switch has been engaged, free of charge. the recall began on september 18, 2015. owners may contact e-one customer service at 1-904-237-1122.

Notes:

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
