2016–2017 Aev Traumahawk recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 American Emergency Vehicle (AEV) Traumahawk ambulances manufactured August 1, 2016, to September 28, 2016. Due to a problem with the seat tracks, the attendant seat(s) on the affected vehicles may unexpectedly move in a rapid deceleration event such as a crash.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat may move forward at a high rate of speed, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
