What happened

Halcore Group, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2020 American Emergency Vehicle TraumaHawk Type 1 ambulances built on RAM 4500 and 5500 chassis with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems. The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, causing excessive wear and brake fluid leakage. This wear could result in a partial or complete loss of rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

According to the recall notice, 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 at no charge. If necessary, dealers will also install a kit to replace worn brake lines. Affected owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
