Recall campaignsA 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.

The defect: REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC. (REV) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Road Rescue Specialty Vehicle, Ultramedic, Promedic, Duramedic, Metromedic and Transmedic emergency vehicles manufactured January 1, 2010, to May 1, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with certain Class 1 ES-Key power control modules manufactured by Hale Products. The affected power control modules may not provide sufficient circuit protection depending on their combination of software and installation, possibly resulting in a short circuit.
The risk: A short circuit may result in damage to components of the vehicle's electrical system, affecting their function such as causing a loss of headlights, increasing the risk of a crash. A short circuit may also increase the risk of a fire.
The remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the software or retrofit fuses, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2016. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-628-8178 or Hale Products Customer Service Center at 1-800-533-3569 or [email protected]. REV's number for this recall is Recall #16-E038.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
