What this recall means for you
Certain ambulances and wheeled coach vehicles have an electrical control module that may not shut off a circuit during a short circuit or wiring failure. Without that shutoff, the affected electrical circuits can become overloaded.
Overloaded circuits can overheat, which increases the risk of a fire in the vehicle. Owners should take this recall seriously and arrange the repair promptly.
The remedy is a firmware update performed free of charge by an authorized dealer. Owners who have questions can contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232, and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
