What happened

E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2013 Typhoon and Cyclone II fire fighting vehicles equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The seat belt buckles have a defect where the latch plate can remain partially engaged after the release button is pressed, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. This condition could hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

E-One will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt buckles and replace them free of charge if necessary. The recall was expected to begin on or about January 17, 2014. Affected consumers should contact E-One at 1-800-627-5050.
