What's wrong?
The aerial ladder hydraulic filter on 2014-2016 E-One Typhoon, Cyclone, and Quest fire trucks helps clean the hydraulic fluid that powers ladder movement. That fluid carries pressure through the aerial system so the ladder can raise, lower, extend, and hold position during operation. The filter head and its O-ring seal are supposed to keep that pressurized fluid contained.
On affected trucks, the supplier changed the filter head design for parts E-One received beginning January 1, 2014. The new head had lower design tolerance than the original part, so it flexes under repeated pressure cycles. That flexing lets the specialized O-ring push out of its seated position over time, opening a leak path where the filter connects to the head. E-One's replacement uses a Stauff-brand filter head designed for 200 PSI, compared with 100 PSI for the original Schroeder head.
Operators can see hydraulic fluid puddling or spraying near the aerial hydraulic filter. The aerial panel can also show low fluid pressure with a yellow or red indicator light.

What's the safety risk?
A hydraulic fluid leak can take the aerial device out of service and increase the risk of injury. Watch for hydraulic fluid puddling, spray, or a low-fluid yellow or red indicator light at the aerial panel. If you see those signs, stop using the aerial device and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2016 E-One Typhoon, Cyclone, or Quest fire truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised E-One dealer to schedule the free aerial-ladder filter and head assembly inspection and replacement.
- Bring the recall notice if E-One mailed a recall notice. If not, reference recall number 16V801 when you call.
- Avoid using the aerial ladder until the dealer completes the repair that stops hydraulic fluid leaking from the aerial device system.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an E-One technician inspects the aerial ladder hydraulic filter and head assembly for the leak condition and replaces the filter and head assembly if needed. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. E-One has a general reimbursement plan on file for qualifying out-of-pocket repairs already paid before the recall work. Keep repair paperwork and ask E-One customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation.
