Plain-English summary

Life Line Emergency Vehicles is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford chassis-based Type I ambulances. These vehicles are equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors used to display the back-up camera image.

The defect involves the displays unexpectedly reverting to factory default settings, which may cause the camera image to appear reversed. This issue may cause the driver to inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on March 29, 2019. Life Line will work with ASA Electronics to notify owners and provide a remedy free of charge.
