Problem: Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2020 Horton Emergency Vehicles Type I and III and ambulances equipped with Weldon i4G Vivtech Displays. The processor that runs the display may stop functioning without warning, causing items operated through the control panel to not function.

Risk: If the control panel stops functioning, a delay in emergency services may occur, increasing the risk of injury.

Free fix: Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the i4G Vivtech rear and/or front display within the serial number range, free of charge. The recall began December 8, 2020. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.

Service Brakes (20V291000, 2020-05-20)

Problem: Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Horton Emergency Vehicles (HEV) Type I & Type III ambulances built on a Ram 4500 or 5500 chassis and equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.), part numbers DS135RS3A, DS135RS3AF, DS135RS3-DM. The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, possibly causing excessive wear and a loss of rear brakes. The affected system component is the rear brake caliper flexible line which may be causing brake caliper to wear due to contact suspension components.

Risk: A worn rear brake caliper flexible line may cause brake fluid leakage which may result in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Free fix: Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and if necessary, a kit to replace worn brake lines, free of charge. This recall began June 5, 2020. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
