The 2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II has 0 complaints and 11 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to braking, suspension components, seat belt buckle functionality, electrical system malfunctions, and equipment pressure relief valves as part of official recall actions.
The vehicle has 11 recalls addressing defects in various systems affecting safety and operational reliability. Recalls cover components such as parking brakes, seat belts, suspension assemblies, electrical software, starter assemblies, and fire fighting equipment.
Recalls- Parking brake actuators. Recall 13V145000 affects 10 vehicles built between April 22, 2011, and February 8, 2013, due to potential leaks in piston air parking brake actuators that may cause brake dragging and overheated components, increasing fire risk. E-One replaces actuators as needed free of charge.
- Seat belt buckles. Recall 13V601000 affects 10 vehicles equipped with IMMI L9 buckles, where the latch plate may partially engage after pressing the release button, making belts hard to unlatch and risking hindered exit. Dealers will inspect and replace buckles starting January 17, 2014.
- Electrical system software. Recall 14V217000 involves 112 vehicles with Vehicle Input Module (VIM) software defects causing false brake light illumination and auxiliary idle control issues, increasing crash risk and reducing equipment performance. Dealers will update software free of charge.
- Front suspension ball joints. Recalls 17V231000 and 15V598000 cover 29 and 9 vehicles respectively with potential ball joint loosening or separation causing loss of steering control and crash risk. Repairs include inspection, cleaning, securing, or replacement of components at no cost.
- Front axle spindle fatigue. Recall 18V171000 affects 36 vehicles with possible fatigue cracks in front axle spindles leading to wheel separation, increasing crash risk. Dealers replace front axle spindles free of charge.
- Starter solenoid circuitry. Recalls 18V019000 and 19V730000 cover over 2,700 vehicles with missing diodes in starter solenoid circuits leading to lock-out relay damage and potential failure to start, which could delay emergency response. Dealers install diodes and new relays free.
- HVAC relay assembly. Recall 18V747000 impacts 86 vehicles where high current loads may melt relays in the HVAC system, increasing fire risk. Dealers install new relay assemblies at no charge.
- Equipment pressure relief valves. Recall 17V739000 involves 298 vehicles with potential corrosion of rings securing Hale pressure relief valves in fire pump water systems, reducing water pressure and hindering firefighting. Stainless steel retaining rings will be installed free of charge.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving steering, braking, or electrical defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting with a qualified attorney may help clarify options related to these defects and repeated safety concerns.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Typhoon and Cyclone 2, 2013-2014 Cyclone 3, 2014-2019 Quest 2 and 2017 CHSH emergency vehicles equipped with a Cummins ISL, L9, ISX12, X12, ISX15, or X15 engine. The engines do not have a diode in the starter solenoid circuit to improve the longevity of the lock-out relay, resulting in accumulated damage over time.
Risk: The damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting, hindering personnel from responding to emergencies, increasing the risk of an injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Cyclone II, Typhoon, and Quest II emergency vehicles equipped with a Cummins ISL, L9, ISX15, or X15 engine. The affected engines do not have a diode in the starter solenoid circuit to improve the longevity of the lock-out relay, resulting in accumulated damage over time.
Risk: The damaged starter lock-out relay may prevent the vehicle from starting, hindering personnel from responding to emergencies.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
86 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2012-2015 E-One Cyclone II, Cyclone III and Typhoon emergency vehicles. High current load in the HVAC system can cause one of the relays to melt.
Risk: A melting relay can increase the risk of a fire.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
36 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:FRONT
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2008-2015 E-One Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest II vehicles, equipped with Timoney Independent Front Suspensions. Inconsistent machining may result in fatigue cracks developing over time in the front axle spindles, causing failure of the spindle and the possible separation of a front wheel from the vehicle.
Risk: A wheel separation from the vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
298 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2017 E-One Cyclone II, Quest, Typhoon, 2016 Freightliner M2 112, 2013-2015 International 7400, 2014-2017 International 4400, Freightliner M2 106, 2016-2017 Kenworth T370, and 2015 Kenworth T800 vehicles equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting. Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
29 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Typhoon and Cyclone II and 2014-2016 Quest emergency vehicles. The ball joints on the independent front suspension (IFS) modules can loosen and separate, leading to a partial loss of steering.
Risk: A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
9 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:FRONT
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest emergency vehicles manufactured August 2, 2013, to December 16, 2014. The affected vehicles have front independent suspension assemblies that may have loose ball joints which could separate causing a loss of steering control.
Risk: A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
112 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Emergency One Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest Fire Fighting Chassis manufactured March 19, 2013, through April 15, 2014, and equipped with Vehicle Input Module (VIM) part number 508875. The VIM, used to supply programming inputs that monitor and control some vehicle functions such as lights, warning indicators and some interlock functions of the vehicle electrical system, has software that may experience a defect that affects the operation of the brake lights and other electrical operations of the vehicle.
Risk: The VIM software may cause the vehicle's brake lights to be illuminated even when the vehicle is not braking and may prevent the vehicle's ability to raise its idle when auxilliary equipment is being used. If the brake lights are illuminated while the vehicle is moving it could make other motorists think the vehicle is stopping/slowing down and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle cannot raise its idle when auxilliary equipment is being used, equipment such as aerial devices, electrical generators and rescue tools may have reduced performance.

10 vehicles affected
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2013 model Typhoon and Cyclone II fire fighting vehicles equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Risk: If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
2013 E-ONE CYCLONE II
10 vehicles affected
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Cyclone II fire fighting vehicles manufactured from April 22, 2011, through February 8, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that were built with piston air parking brake actuators. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
Risk: Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
