The problem
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 American Emergency Vehicle (AEV) Traumahawk ambulances manufactured August 1, 2016, to September 28, 2016. Due to a problem with the seat tracks, the attendant seat(s) on the affected vehicles may unexpectedly move in a rapid deceleration event such as a crash.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat may move forward at a high rate of speed, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
The fix
Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat tracks, free of charge. The recall began on October 29, 2016. Owners may contact AEV Warranty/Customer Service Department at 1-800-374-9749, or by email at [email protected].
