On a small number of fire trucks, the tie rod end bracket on the steering assist cylinder may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, this could cause a reduction of steering assist and/or the steering may make clunking noises. This can cause a change in steering feel and an increase in steering effort.
Safety Risk
A change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
E-ONE will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the steering assist bracket and, if necessary, replace it.
