What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2016-2017 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Traumahawk type III ambulances, equipped with door striker bolts that may fail under load. As such, these bolts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door locks and door retention components."

The risk

If the door striker bolts fail under load, the door may open in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

AEV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the striker bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2017. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749. Halcore's number for this recall is 17E-038.

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.
