2019 Road Rescue Type I recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. (REV) is recalling certain 2019 Road Rescue Type I ambulances. Incorrect material was used for the trip levers used in the rotary latches possibly preventing the doors from being able to be opened.
💥 The risk
Failure of the rotary latch to function could potentially cause a lock-in or lock-out situation, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
REV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rotary latches and cable brackets, free of charge. The recall began October 28, 2020. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
