What this recall means for you
Certain ambulances built between March and October 2016 have Stryker cot mounts that may not securely lock the cot in place. If the cot comes loose from its mount, the patient and people inside the ambulance body could be seriously injured.
The affected vehicles have already been contacted by Stryker, received a remedy kit, and been repaired, so no owner notification letter will be sent for this campaign. If you own or operate one of these ambulances and want confirmation, you can contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
