Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Medix Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Type II ambulances manufactured between September 1, 2007, and November 16, 2011. These vehicles have rear-facing seats in the patient compartment that were installed with Type I seat belts (lap belt only) instead of the required Type II configuration (lap and shoulder belt). This configuration does not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards and may increase the risk of injury to occupants in a crash.
Medix will notify owners and replace the non-conforming seat belts with Type II seat belts at no cost. The recall was expected to begin in January 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Medix at 1-574-266-0911 to arrange the replacement.

MEDIX IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2011 TYPE II AMBULANCES, MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2007, THROUGH NOVEMBER 16, 2011.
