2009 EMERGENCY ONE CYCLONE II; 2009 EMERGENCY ONE TYPHOON
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
E-One is recalling certain 2009 Typhoon and Cyclone II fire trucks equipped with Cummins ISC CM2150 and ISL CM2150 diesel engines. These vehicles have a dash-mounted switch designed to let operators prevent the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter from regenerating when elevated exhaust temperatures could be unsafe. However, due to a software issue in the engine's computer, the switch may not work correctly, causing operators to believe they have activated the inhibit mode when they actually have not.
When the switch fails to function properly, hot exhaust gases can exit the tailpipe, which increases the risk of melting or burning nearby surfaces, people standing adjacent to the tailpipe, or causing a fire. E-One is working with Cummins to repair the engines at no charge to owners. Affected consumers should contact Cummins at 1-800-DIESELS (1-800-343-7357) or refer to Cummins' defect report 09E-046.

THIS CONDITION WILL PERMIT HOT EXHAUST GASES TO EXIT THE VEHICLE TAILPIPE, INCREASING THE RISK OF MELTING OR BURNING OF NEARBY SURFACES, OR PERSONS ADJACENT TO THE TAILPIPE, OR A FIRE.
E-ONE IS WORKING WITH CUMMINS TO REPAIR THE ENGINES FREE OF CHARGE. PLEASE SEE CUMMINS' DEFECT REPORT 09E-046. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CUMMINS AT 1-800-DIESELS (1-800-343-7357).
E-ONE IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 TYPHOON AND CYCLONE II FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS ISC CM2150 AND ISL CM2150 MODEL DIESEL ENGINES. THE TRUCKS MAY BE DESIGNED WITH A HARD WIRED, DASH-MOUNTED SWITCH THAT ENABLES THE VEHICLE OPERATOR TO INHIBIT AFTERTREATMENT DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THE OPERATOR BELIEVES IT MAY BE UNSAFE FOR ELEVATED EXHAUST TEMPERATURES TO DISCHARGE FROM THE FIRE TRUCK. DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE LOGIC IN THE ECM SOFTWARE IN THESE ENGINES, THE SWITCH MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, LEADING THE OPERATOR TO BELIEVE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN "INHIBIT" MODE WHEN IT IS NOT.
