Plain-English summary
SJC Industries is recalling certain model year 2012 Marque and McCoy-Miller ambulance vehicles manufactured between November 1, 2011, and August 9, 2012. The recall involves 82 vehicles where the ambulance box mounting bolts were not properly torqued to specification.
The defect allows the mounting bolts to become loose and fall off the vehicle. If the bolts are not correctly tightened, the ambulance compartment box can detach from the vehicle chassis. In the event of a crash, this detachment may result in an increased risk of injury to passengers.
SJC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the mounting bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on September 6, 2012. Owners may contact Thor Industries at 1-937-596-6849, ext 7363, or SJC Industries at 1-574-970-6300.
