What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC. (REV) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Road Rescue Specialty Vehicle, Ultramedic, Promedic, Duramedic, Metromedic and Transmedic emergency vehicles manufactured January 1, 2010, to May 1, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with certain Class 1 ES-Key power control modules manufactured by Hale Products. The affected power control modules may not provide sufficient circuit protection depending on their combination of software and installation, possibly resulting in a short circuit.

The risk

A short circuit may result in damage to components of the vehicle's electrical system, affecting their function such as causing a loss of headlights, increasing the risk of a crash. A short circuit may also increase the risk of a fire.

The remedy

REV will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2016. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-628-8178 or Hale Products Customer Service Center at 1-800-533-3569 or [email protected]. REV's number for this recall is Recall #16-E038.

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.
