What this recall means for you
The rotary door latches in certain 2019 ambulances may have been built with the wrong material for the trip levers. The latch may not function properly, which could keep the doors from opening, leaving people trapped inside (lock-in) or unable to get in (lock-out). Either situation raises the risk of injury.
REV will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the rotary latches and cable brackets at no cost to you. The recall began October 28, 2020. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232.
