The defect: Wheeled Coach Industries (Wheeled Coach) is recalling certain model year 2010 M2, 2013-2014 T1, T2, and T3, and 2014 Terrastar ambulances, equipped with ECX Timer part number EL00230 manufactured by ECX Electronics Corporation. The ECX timer may experience a momentary loss of power when starting the vehicle.
The risk: The momentary loss of power may cause the ECX timer to begin a five minute countdown, after which the timer would disconnect the power supplied to the electrical systems in the patient area of the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
The remedy: Wheeled Coach will notify owners, and dealers will update the timer software, free of charge. Owners may contact Wheeled Coach at 1-800-628-8178.
