What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc. (Wheeled Coach) is recalling certain model year 2010 ambulances manufactured May 4, 2010, to September 24, 2010 on Freightliner Business Class M2 chassis. The affected vehicles may have a loss of instrument panel cluster functions, loss of cab or instrument lighting and other electrical issues.

The risk

Without cab or instrument lighting, the emergency responders are unable to service patients, potentially furthering their injuries.

The remedy

All affected vehicles have already been repaired by Wheeled Coach, free of charge. Owners may contact Wheeled Coach customer service 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.
