Description

Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 American Emergency Vehicle (AEV) Type II ambulances manufactured February 1, 2008, to August 1, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the flexible steel cable that connect the seat belt to the vehicle on the rearward facing attendant seat may be bent from being sat on while entering the seat.
