What's wrong?
The steering gear on 2021-2022 E-One Typhoon N and Cyclone N vehicles is the gearbox that turns steering-wheel movement into force at the steering linkage. Inside the gear, recirculating balls roll between internal parts so the driver can turn the wheels smoothly under load.
On affected vehicles, some steering gears were assembled without the required number of recirculating balls. That missing support can overload the worm shaft, the internal shaft that carries steering force through the gear, until the shaft fractures. Once that happens, steering assist and steering response are compromised, especially when the vehicle is moving slowly or backing up.
Before the internal fracture, the driver can feel the steering become strained or harder than normal. There is no audible or visual warning sign before failure, so a warning light or sound is not expected.

Includes both Typhoon N and Cyclone N trucks for 2021 and 2022, with the same steering gear listed for each.

What's the safety risk?
A fractured steering gear can cause loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash. Before the internal fracture, steering can feel strained, but there is no audible or visual warning. If steering feels strained, pull over when safe and schedule service before putting the vehicle back in service. Repair is free at any franchised E-One dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an E-One technician inspects the steering gear assembly and replaces the steering gear if the inspection shows it is needed. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under recall 22V561. If you already paid out of pocket for a steering gear repair before the owner notice, E-One's reimbursement plan is the path for documented expenses. Contact E-One customer service at 1-352-237-1122 and keep repair paperwork that shows the vehicle, repair date, parts, labor, and amount paid.
