Reported Dec 2, 2011360 vehicles affectedMEDIX SPECIALTY VEHICLES, INC.Built Sep 1, 2007 – Nov 16, 2011

The defect

Medix IS recalling certain model year 2007-2011 type II ambulances, manufactured from september 1, 2007, through november 16, 2011. due to oversight, medix installed seats in a rear facing position in the patient compartment with a type I (lap belt only) seat belt configuration. therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 208, “occupant crash protection.”

The risk

Use of a non-conforming seat belt may increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

The remedy

Medix will notify owners, and will replace the seat belt as required to a type II design (lap and shoulder belt) free of charge. the safety recall IS expected to begin during january 2012. owners may contact medix at 1-574-266-0911.
