E-One Incorporated: Equipment › Electrical
E-One Incorporated reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 18, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 164. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The 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.
The risk
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.
The remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V529000.
