SUSPENSION:FRONT
- The defect
- Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Emergency Response Commander vehicles equipped with Reyco front suspensions. The front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension. The loose shock may contact and damage the steering gear housing, possibly causing a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist.
- What it can cause
- A loss of hydraulic steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Rosenbauer will notify owners, and Reyco dealers will install a new bolt, nut, hardened washer, and shim, free of charge. The recall began February 6, 2020. Owners may contact Reyco customer service at 1-765-543-5815 or Rosenbauer customer service at 1-877-543-5591.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 67 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rosenbauer vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 2 times before this, most recently in April 2017 as 17V254000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V475000 (electrical system), 23V894000 (electrical system), 22V001000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V562000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Rosenbauer America with NHTSA on January 23, 2020 as campaign 20V040000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
