THE COTTLEVILLE FIRE DISTRICT HAS 4 2004 E-ONE PUMPERS. ALL HAVE REAR SPACERS BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE U-BOLT THAT HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANOR. THE HOLLOW SPACERS HAVE CRUSHED AND COME APART. OUR FIRST TRUCK SUSTAINED THE MOST DAMAGE WHEN THE SUSPENSION SHIFTED AND SHEARED THE AIR RIDE BOLTS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SPACERS. ALL FOUR OF THE PUMPERS/ENGINES HAVE HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION SHIFT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SPACERS. WE ARE FORTUNATE IT WAS CAUGHT BEFORE THE FAILURE CAUSED A CRASH. E-ONE INDICATES THAT THEY HAVE SWITCHED TO USING CAST SPACERS AND ADMITS THAT THE HOLLOW SPACERS WERE A POOR DESIGN, BUT INSIST THEY ARE SAFE TO USE. WE STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT POSITION AS ALL FOUR OF OUR TRUCKS SUSTAINED FAILURES OF THE PARTS IN QUESTION. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
