What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Life Line Emergency Vehicles (Life Line) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford chassis-based Type I ambulances equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors used to display the back-up camera image. These displays may unexpectedly revert back to the factory default settings which may cause the camera image to be reversed.

The risk

The driver may inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Life Line will work with ASA to notify owners and provide a remedy, free of charge. The recall began March 29, 2019. Owners may contact ASA Electronics customer service at 1-800-384-4400 or Life Line Emergency Vehicles at 1-563-578-3317.

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.
