Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
E-One Incorporated is recalling certain 2013-2014 Emergency One Typhoon, Cyclone II, and Quest fire fighting chassis manufactured between March 19, 2013, and April 15, 2014, that are equipped with Vehicle Input Module part number 508875. The VIM software may cause the vehicle's brake lights to remain illuminated even when not braking, which could mislead other motorists and increase crash risk. The software may also prevent the vehicle from raising its idle when auxiliary equipment is being used, potentially reducing performance of equipment such as aerial devices, electrical generators, and rescue tools.
E-One will notify owners and dealers will update the VIM software at no charge. The recall began on June 12, 2014. Affected owners should contact E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.

The VIM software may cause the vehicle's brake lights to be illuminated even when the vehicle is not braking and may prevent the vehicle's ability to raise its idle when auxilliary equipment is being used. If the brake lights are illuminated while the vehicle is moving it could make other motorists think the vehicle is stopping/slowing down and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle cannot raise its idle when auxilliary equipment is being used, equipment such as aerial devices, electrical generators and rescue tools may have reduced performance.
E-One will notify owners, and dealers will update the VIM software, free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2014. Owners may contract E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050.
