Recall 16V845 affects 16 2010-2016 E-One Cyclone vehicles for suspension air bag pressure loss. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.
E-One is recalling 16 2010-2016 Cyclone vehicles because FIREMAAX suspension air bags can lose pressure while the vehicle is parked on extended aerial jack legs. When the jack legs retract, wrinkled air bags can be damaged and fail, reducing vehicle stability and handling; E-One dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The FIREMAAX suspension on 2010-2016 E-One Cyclone vehicles uses pressurized air bags to support the tandem axle and keep the vehicle level. The aerial jack legs stabilize the vehicle when it is parked for aerial operation. In normal use, the air bags hold pressure while the suspension carries the vehicle's weight.
On affected Cyclone vehicles, the suspension air bags lose pressure over time when the wheels are lifted off the ground by the jack legs. If the jack legs retract fast, the bags do not repressurize before the vehicle's weight returns to the suspension. A low-pressure bag can wrinkle or fold, then get damaged as it refills under load.
Owners or operators can see wrinkling in the suspension air bags before failure. A grinding or scratching sound is another warning sign. These signs mean the air bag is not sitting or refilling correctly after jack-leg use.

What's the safety risk?
A sudden suspension air bag failure can reduce vehicle stability and handling, which increases the risk of a crash. Watch for wrinkling on the air bags or grinding and scratching sounds, and schedule service promptly if either appears. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2016 E-One Cyclone is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised E-One dealer to schedule the free pressure-protection-valve installation that protects against suspension air bag pressure loss while the jack legs are extended.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 16V845 when you call.
- Use caution until the repair is complete because suspension air bag failure can reduce vehicle stability and handling.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an E-One technician installs a pressure protection valve on the exhaust port of the height control valve. That added valve helps protect the FIREMAAX suspension air bags after the aerial jack legs are used and retracted. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. E-One has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for a related suspension air bag or height control valve repair, bring repair paperwork to the service desk and ask how to submit it under that plan.
