The problem
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2016-2017 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Traumahawk type III ambulances, equipped with door striker bolts that may fail under load. As such, these bolts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door locks and door retention components."
The risk
If the door striker bolts fail under load, the door may open in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
AEV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the striker bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2017. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749. Halcore's number for this recall is 17E-038.
