What happened

Wheeled Coach is recalling certain 2004-2010 Ford E-350 Type II diesel ambulances manufactured between May 17, 2004, and April 6, 2011. The ambulances were originally sold or are currently registered in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. The recall addresses a corrosion issue on the secondary battery terminal that can affect the accessory power cable, potentially causing the siren, warning lights, and interior patient compartment lights to operate intermittently or fail completely, which increases the risk of a crash.

Wheeled Coach will mail retrofit kits with installation instructions to customers at no cost, or owners can have the repair performed by a Wheeled Coach service center for free. The recall began on September 30, 2011. Affected owners should contact Wheeled Coach Customer Service at 1-800-628-8178.
