2004 Road Rescue Ambulance recalls
Recall 05V-153: Electrical System
Problem: On certain ambulances equipped with the "smart display" electrical system containing field-effect transistor (Fet) output boards, the power distribution panel for the smart display are equipped with type 1 circuit protection. This allows the board to shut down if an over-heating condition or an over current condition is detected. As the board cools down, it comes back on, allowing the board to continually cycle leading to possible failure.
Risk: The boards can possibly overheat or melt down, which could cause a fire.
Fix: Dealers will install a new transistor fet board that contains type 2 circuit protection free of charge. The recall began on september 6, 2005. Owners may contact road rescue at 1-800-328-3804.
Recall 05V-142: Exterior Lighting
Problem: Certain ambulances fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (Fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." no side or rear red reflex reflectors were installed as required by the standard.
Risk: During emergency situations at night without any reflectors, the rear of the ambulance may not be as visible to other vehicles increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install the red reflex reflectors to meet guidelines free of charge. The recall began on may 13, 2005. Owners may contact road rescue at 843-676-2900.
