- 10146009This technical bulletin is a suggested door latch and door latch cable change for the side entry door on all Horton vehicles built between February 2016 to May 2018 that use TriMark paddle style door handles. During testing it was noted that the latch design for the side entry door latch could add a small amount of side loading to the door cable at the door latch connection point if the door latches are loose or out of adjustment, creating the possibility of premature door cable failure.

- 10115973This technical bulletin is a suggested firm ware update for all Horton Emergency vehicles ambulances using Cool-Tech air conditioning system with a Data Panel fan controller delivered between 01/02/2017 and 07/07/2017. Early firm ware revision parameters for Cool-Tech condenser fan over current warning messages were programmed too closely allowing the possibility of false error messages to be displayed during fan start up. Updating the firm ware of the Cool-Tech Data Panel fan controller to the current 010C revision will greatly reduce the possibility of false error messages being sent. There are no safety or functionality concerns with early firm ware revisions.
