The problem
Medtec is recalling certain model year 2010 ambulance type ii vans for not complying with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems," and federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." the rear facing ambulance attendant seat utilizes a steel floor reinforcement plate on the bottom side of the aluminum floor substructure and the reinforcement plate was omitted in some ambulance bodies.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat belt assembly anchorage may disconnect from the floor causing the assembly to fail to restrain the seat occupant increasing the risk of injury to that occupant.
The fix
Dealers will install the missing reinforcement plate under the floor substructure free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during march 2011. Owners may contact medtec toll-free at 1-866-263-3832.
