NHTSA recall 94V045000
Structure › Body
Road Rescue Type I
The defect
The ten(10) mounts which are used to attach the ambulance module to the modified light truck chassis can fracture due to metal fatigue.
The risk
Fracture of the mounts can cause vehicle handling problems which may result in an accident.
The remedy
Gusset plates will be installed on all vehicles connecting the longitudinal beams to the transverse beams. Also, if inspection discloses a fractured mount, a steel reinforcement bar will be installed to further stablilize the mount. These vehicles will also be re-inspected annually by road rescue or its dealers.
