The problem
E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 E-One Pumpers manufactured January 1, 2012, to June 23, 2016 and built on a Ford F-550 chassis modified to be equipped with driveline-driven ("split-shaft") pumps. The bearings and drive shafts of the pumps may loosen due to high vibration levels, such as those created when the vehicle is driven above 65 MPH.
The risk
If the bearings or drive shafts loosen, parts may fall from the vehicle becoming road hazards, the pump may not function to assist in fire fighting or there may be a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
E-One will notify owners, and Ford dealers will recalibrate the vehicle to be speed limited to 65 MPH, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
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.
