The defect
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2017 Horton ambulances, models 623, 603F, 453, and 457, built on Ford F-350, F-450, or F-550 chassis equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.) made by LiquidSpring. Due to an incorrect torque specification, the rear brake caliper banjo bolts may have been overtightened.
The risk
The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Horton will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2017. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816, extension 1, or at [email protected] or Horton customer service at 1-614-534-8181.
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.
