Recall 18V057 covers 7 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles for fire-pump end caps subject to fatigue failure. E-One dealers install domed kits.
E-One is recalling 7 2001-2002 X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles because flat end caps on the fire pump manifold can fatigue and fail. That failure can suddenly discharge water or reduce firefighting water pressure and raise injury risk for firefighting personnel or the public, and E-One dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The fire pump manifold on the 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles is a stainless steel welded assembly tied to the fire pump. Its job is to collect water or foam from the pump and send that firefighting agent to the discharge outlets on the apparatus. The manifold has flat end caps welded to both ends of the manifold body.
On affected vehicles, severe pump duty cycles put repeated pressure loads on those flat end caps and their welds. Over time, that repeated loading creates metal fatigue at the cap ends. If an end cap fails, water can suddenly discharge from the manifold or the pump system can lose pressure needed for firefighting.
The fatigue starts from the inside of the cap area, so the crew cannot count on seeing the crack form. A small leak can appear before failure, but the expected failure has no clear warning sign before it happens.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Sudden water discharge can injure firefighting personnel near the vehicle. Partial or total loss of discharge pressure also increases injury risk for firefighting personnel or the public during emergency use. Leakage can appear before failure, but cap failure can occur without warning, so schedule the inspection before the apparatus is used for response. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2001-2002 E-One X-036 or X-113 emergency vehicle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised E-One dealer to schedule the end-cap inspection and domed end-cap kit replacement that addresses sudden water discharge and reduced fire-pump pressure.
- Reference recall number 18V057 when you call the dealer.
- Bring the recall notice if E-One mailed one to your department.
- Ask E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 about labor coverage before authorizing the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an E-One technician inspects the fire pump manifold and replaces the flat end cap with a domed end cap kit. The recall remedy is available now. E-One's filing says labor compensation is not covered by E-One, so confirm any labor charge with the service desk before work begins. E-One has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for this repair, ask E-One customer service how to submit documentation under that plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 18V057?
Recall 18V057 covers 7 2001-2002 E-One X-036 and X-113 emergency vehicles with flat fire-pump-manifold end caps that can fatigue and fail. The failure can cause sudden water discharge or reduce discharge pressure during firefighting operations.
What should I do if my 2001-2002 E-One X-036 or X-113 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific emergency vehicle is included in recall 18V057. If it is, contact an E-One dealer or E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 to arrange inspection and replacement of the flat end cap with a domed end cap kit.
Is the recall repair free?
The domed end cap kit is provided through the recall remedy, but E-One's remedy record states that labor compensation is not covered by E-One. Confirm the parts and labor handling with the E-One dealer or service contact before scheduling the inspection and replacement.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is injury during firefighting operations. A failed flat end cap can suddenly discharge water near firefighting personnel, and partial or total loss of discharge pressure can increase injury risk for firefighting personnel or the public.
