What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ENTRY DOORS MAY NOT MEET LONGITUDINAL LOAD REQUIREMENTS DUE TO OMISSION OF MUSHROOM CAP ON THE STRIKER PIN, REQUIRED BY FMVSS 206.

The risk

UNDER SEVERE CONDITIONS, SUCH AS EXTREME IMPACT TO THE MODULAR BOX OR A ROLLOVER, DOORS COULD SEPARATE FROM THE PIN AND OPEN; THIS WOULD ALLOW OCCUPANTS TO BE EXPELLED FROM AMBULANCE IF NOT SECURED BY SAFETY BELTS.

The remedy

INSTALL NEW STRIKER PINS THAT MEET FMVSS 206 REQUIREMENTS.

Notes

SYSTEM: DOORS;FMVSS 206.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: AMBULANCES.

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.
