AEV Traumahawk Ambulances Recalled for Cot Mount Attachment Defect

Halcore Group is recalling 2016 AEV Traumahawk ambulances because Stryker Medical Performance cot mounts may not securely attach the cot, posing a risk of serious injury.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where serious injury is possible if the cot dislodges, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Halcore Group, Inc. is recalling certain 2016 AEV Traumahawk ambulances manufactured between March 20, 2016, and October 28, 2016. The recall involves vehicles equipped with Stryker Medical Performance cot mounts that may not securely attach the cot into place.

If the cot dislodges from its mount, serious injury may occur to the patient and/or to individuals within the ambulance body. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

All affected vehicles have already been contacted by Stryker, received a remedy kit, and have been repaired. Consequently, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for further information.
