The defect
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Trauma Hawk emergency vehicles manufactured from December 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a back up camera system which may display images from the camera in reverse.
The risk
If an object or person are on the left side of the screen but are actually on the right side of the vehicle, or vice versa, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy
Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will work with ASA Electronics to replace any camera that is not displaying the correct images. The recall began on September 11, 2015. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749 or ASA customer service at 1-877-384-4400. Halcore's number for this recall is 15E050.
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.
