What this recall means for you
Certain emergency ambulances were built with cot securing bolts that may be too short to properly anchor the cot to the floor. The bolts are used to install the cot securing system on vehicles that have a 2-inch subfloor.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the cot may not stay secured, which could injure people inside the vehicle, including patients and medical crew. Owners of affected units are being notified by REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. Dealers will install correct replacement hardware free of charge.
If you own or operate an affected vehicle, contact REV customer service at 1-800-628-8178 to arrange the repair. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
