Summary

REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC. "REV" is recalling certain 2017 Wheeled Coach Type I, McCoy-Miller Type I, Frontline Type I, Marque Type I, and Road Rescue 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.

Consequence

The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

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.
