Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Halcore Group, Inc. is recalling certain 2008-2014 American Emergency Vehicle (AEV) Type II ambulances manufactured between February 1, 2008, and August 1, 2014. The flexible steel cable connecting the seat belt to the vehicle on the rearward-facing attendant seat can become bent when sat on while entering the seat. This repeated bending may cause the cable to break, which would prevent the seat occupant from being properly restrained during a crash and increase their risk of injury.
Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will replace the flexible steel cable with a sleeve-encased webbed belt that allows flexibility at no charge. The recall was expected to begin on December 7, 2015. Affected owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749 or warranty@aev.com.
