The problem
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Horton Type I and Type III Emergency vehicles. Due to improper manufacturing, the cushion of the Inflatable Head Cushion (IHC) and Knee Air Bag (KAB) may detach during a deployment event and not inflate.
The risk
In the event of a crash, if the cushions do not inflate properly, they may not provide the intended protection to the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Halcore will notify owners and dealers will install replacement air bags when they become available, free of charge. Halcore issued owners an interim notification on September 6, 2019. The recall began September 20, 2019. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
