Back Over Prevention › Sensing System › Camera (19V281000, 2019-04-09)
Problem: Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Horton Type I and Type III ambulances equipped with ASA Electronics back-up camera displays. The displays may revert back to the factory default settings which may cause the camera image to be reversed.
Risk: The driver may inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Horton will notify owners and dealers will add a harness relay capacitor module to prevent the image from reversing, free of charge. The recall began June 13, 2019. Owners may contact ASA customer service at 1-800-384-4400 or Halcore at 1-800-447-0343.
Exterior Lighting › Brake Lights (18V605000, 2018-09-11)
Problem: Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Horton Type I and Type III ambulances, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Halcore will notify owners, and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began October 16, 2018. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
