Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

InvestigationsNHTSA 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.

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.

DURING A DEMONSTRATION OF THE OPERATION OF A STRYKER POWER PRO XT AND POWER COT LOADING SYSTEM, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE TWO OPPOSING PAWLS THAT SPREAD APART AND LOCK THE FOOT OF THE COT TO THE MAIN RAIL OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH IN TURN IS FASTENED TO THE FLOOR OF THE AMBULANCE, WERE NOT ENGAGING. IN A CRASH THIS WOULD ALLOW THE FOOT OF THE COT TO SWING OR FALL (IF INVERTED). THIS IN TURN COULD MEAN A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FOR THE ATTENDANT OR PATIENT. AFTER PULLING UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE ON THE COT ENGAGEMENT OF THE LOCK WAS SUCCESSFUL.
