Recall 16V293 covers 140 2015-2016 E-One Cyclone Ii, Quest Ii, and Typhoon vehicles for faulty pump strainers. Free repair at a franchised E-One dealer.
E-One is recalling 140 2015-2016 Cyclone Ii, Quest Ii, and Typhoon emergency vehicles because 6-inch intake strainers on the firefighting water pumps can come apart during use. If strainer pieces or debris enter the pump, the operator has to shut it down, which reduces firefighting effectiveness and increases injury risk; E-One will repair the pump intake strainers free of charge.

What's wrong?
The intake strainer is a screened fitting on the fire pump intake on 2015-2016 E-One Cyclone Ii, Quest Ii, and Typhoon emergency vehicles. It sits in the water path before the pump and is meant to keep larger debris out while the pump draws water and builds pressure for firefighting.
On affected vehicles, the 6-inch intake strainer was not soldered correctly during production. The joints did not always receive solder around the full perimeter, so the strainer can separate during pump operation. When that happens, pieces of the strainer and debris can enter the pump and damage it, reducing the pump's ability to deliver pressurized water.
Crews can hear chatter at the pipe intake or clanging and banging during use. During inspection, they can find loose or damaged strainer pieces, along with broken solder from the joint.
Who's affected?
Spans Cyclone Ii, Quest Ii, and Typhoon trucks across the 2015 and 2016 model years, all tied to the same equipment component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Loose strainer parts or debris can enter the pump and force the operator to shut it down. That reduces firefighting effectiveness and increases the risk of injury. Chatter at the pipe intake, clanging or banging, loose strainer parts, or broken solder are warning signs to inspect before service. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 E-One Cyclone Ii, Quest Ii, or Typhoon is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised E-One dealer to schedule the free intake-strainer inspection and replacement if solder is missing.
- Mention recall number 16V293 when you call so the dealer can match the repair to the correct campaign.
- Bring the recall notice if E-One mailed one, and ask whether the Hale pump strainer must be replaced.
- Limit fire-pump use until the inspection is complete; a loose strainer or debris can enter the pump and reduce firefighting effectiveness.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an E-One technician checks the pump intake strainer for missing solder at the joints. Any strainer with missing solder is replaced free of charge under the recall, so parts and labor are covered. If you already paid for a related strainer repair before the recall work, E-One has a general reimbursement plan on file. Ask E-One customer service how to submit documentation under that plan.
