Why it was recalled

Sudden discharge of water poses a risk of injury to firefighting personnel in close proximity, and partial or total loss of discharge pressure could place firefighting personnel or the public at an increased risk of injury.

What was recalled

E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles. The flat end caps on the fire pump manifold may fatigue over time and fail, allowing water to suddenly discharge or reducing the water pressure available for fighting fires.

What to do

E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the flat end cap with a domed end cap kit. Labor compensation will not be covered by E-One. The recall began on February 19, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
