2017 Road Rescue Type I recalls
Recall 18V-602: Exterior Lighting
Problem: REV Ambulance Group Orland, Inc. (REV) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Road Rescue, Marque, Wheeled Coach, Frontline, and McCoy Miller Type I and Type III ambulances, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: REV will notify owners, and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began October 19, 2018. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232.

Problem: REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC.

Due to an incorrect torque specification, the rear brake caliper banjo bolts may have been overtightened.
Risk: The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: REV will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began during April 2017. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 1 or by email at service@liquidspring.com or REV customer service at 1-800-628-8178.

Due to a problem with the seat tracks, the attendant seat(s) on the affected vehicles may unexpectedly move in a rapid deceleration event such as a crash.
Risk: In the event of a crash, the seat may move forward at a high rate of speed, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
