What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Wheeled Coach Industries (Wheeled Coach) is recalling certain model year 2010 M2, 2013-2014 T1, T2, and T3, and 2014 Terrastar ambulances, equipped with ECX Timer part number EL00230 manufactured by ECX Electronics Corporation. The ECX timer may experience a momentary loss of power when starting the vehicle.

The risk

The momentary loss of power may cause the ECX timer to begin a five minute countdown, after which the timer would disconnect the power supplied to the electrical systems in the patient area of the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.

The remedy

Wheeled Coach will notify owners, and dealers will update the timer software, free of charge. Owners may contact Wheeled Coach at 1-800-628-8178.

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
