Manufacturer
2 recalls in our database name North Central Emergency Vehicles as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 2 recalls from North Central Emergency Vehicles we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
North Central Emergency is recalling one 2021 Ford E-450 because a firmware defect in Weldon nodes may cause electrical circuits to overheat and catch fire.
North Central Emergency is recalling 2016-2018 ambulances because brake lights may illuminate without the pedal being pressed, potentially confusing other drivers.
