From the NHTSA: E-One is recalling certain model-year 2008 through 2011 Cyclone II, Typhoon, and Quest vehicles manufactured from May 1, 2008, through Nov. 28, 2011, and equipped with Meritor Wabco electronic stability control (ESC) modules.

Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the ESC system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over-steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.

If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.

E-One will notify owners and is working with Meritor Wabco to replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about Dec. 18. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 800-627-5050 or Meritor customer service at 866-668-7221.

Owners also may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov/.
