TriMark Recalls Ambulance Door Striker Bolts for Crash Safety Non-Compliance
TriMark is recalling specific door striker bolts used in ambulance door systems because they may fail during a crash, causing doors to open and 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 (door striker bolts) that fails to meet federal safety standards, creating a significant risk of injury in a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
Plain-English summary
TriMark Corporation is recalling certain door striker bolts, model number 070-0100, that were assembled into door systems for ambulance manufacturers and distributors. The recall involves 781 affected units. These bolts may fail under load, which could allow ambulance doors to open in the event of a crash. Consequently, the bolts fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door locks and door retention components."
If a door opens during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury to occupants. TriMark will notify the purchasers of the door systems and provide replacement striker bolts free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a specific notification schedule.
