What's wrong?
The engine control computer on the 2008-2009 E-One Cyclone Ii and Quest fire trucks manages how the Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine runs. It reads operating inputs and sends commands that control fuel delivery and engine operation. In normal service, that software keeps the engine running as conditions change.
On affected trucks, the problem is in the engine control computer software. Under certain operating conditions, the software can command or allow the engine to shut down unexpectedly. That means the engine stops running even though the driver has not chosen to turn it off.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall does not list a light, sound, or drivability symptom that gives the driver advance notice before the shutdown happens.
Who's affected?
