Halcore Group, Inc. "Halcore" is recalling certain 2017 American Emergency Vehicle "AEV" Traumahawk Type I ambulances built on Ford F-350, F-450, or F-550 chassis equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems "C.L.A.S.S." made by LiquidSpring. Due to an incorrect torque specification, the rear brake caliper banjo bolts may have been overtightened.
The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Halcore will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2017. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 1 or at service"liquidspring.com or AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
