What's wrong?
The tie rod assembly on 2022 E-One Typhoon N, Cyclone Ii, and Cyclone N vehicles is part of the steering linkage. It connects steering movement to the front wheels and helps keep both wheels pointed in the same direction. The clamps hold the tie rod tube in place so steering input stays controlled.
On the recalled vehicles, the tie rod clamps were not heat-treated correctly. E-One traced the issue to excessive carbon from a damaged control board on a supplier furnace, which left the clamps prone to cracking. As cracks spread, the clamps can let the tie rod separate, reducing steering control.
The warning sign is a vehicle that goes out of alignment. If both clamps on the tie rod crack, the tube can rotate and cause a partial loss of steering capability.
