REV Recalls 2016-2017 Ambulances Due to Defective Attendant Seat Tracks

REV Ambulance Group is recalling 39 ambulances from 2016-2017 because defective seat tracks may allow attendant seats to move rapidly during a crash, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat tracks) that increases the risk of injury to occupants during a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 ambulances manufactured between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2016. The recall covers 39 units across multiple brands, including Frontline, Wheeled Coach, McCoy Miller, Road Rescue, and Marque, in Type I and Type III configurations.

The defect involves a problem with the seat tracks on the attendant seats. In the event of a rapid deceleration, such as a crash, the seat may unexpectedly move forward at a high rate of speed. This movement increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

REV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat tracks free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2016. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-628-8178 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
