What happened

Halcore Group, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2020 Horton Emergency Vehicles Type I and Type III ambulances built on Ram 4500 or 5500 chassis that are equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.). The rear brake caliper flexible line in these vehicles may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, causing excessive wear. This wear can lead to brake fluid leakage and a partial or complete loss of rear brakes, which increases the risk of a crash.

Halcore will notify owners of affected vehicles. Dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting at no charge. If necessary, dealers will also install a kit to replace worn brake lines. The recall began on June 5, 2020. Owners of affected ambulances should contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
