The problem
Medtec is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 ambulances manufactured from september 14, 2007, through april 15, 2010. The rear facing ambulance attendant seat was not equipped with a type 2 seat belt assembly, and so the vehicles fail to comform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
The risk
Use of an improper seat belt assembly may increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix
Medtec will notify owners and dealers will install a type 2 seat belt assembly free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact medtec toll-free at 1-866-263-3832.
