What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

A WIRE FROM THE STOP LAMP SWITCH TO THE SPEED CONTROL AMPLIFIER IS MISSING. THIS WIRE SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT DISENGAGE. THIS CAUSES THE AMBULANCE SPEED TO REMAIN CONSTANT, CAUSING POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL WHICH CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

INSTALL REDESIGNED WIRING HARNESS WHICH INCLUDES MISSING CONNECTION.

Notes

SYSTEM: CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1600 AND 1800 SERIES BUSES AND TYPE I AND TYPE III AMBULANCES BUILT ON FORD E-350 CUTAWAY AND F-350 CAB CHASSIS WITH FORD'S CRUISE CONTROL OPTION.

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.
