Summary of the Safety Concern:
CERTAIN AMBULANCES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." NO SIDE OR REAR RED REFLEX REFLECTORS WERE INSTALLED AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD. |
||
|
Consequence:
DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AT NIGHT WITHOUT ANY REFLECTORS, THE REAR OF THE AMBULANCE MAY NOT BE AS VISIBLE TO OTHER VEHICLES INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE RED REFLEX REFLECTORS TO MEET GUIDELINES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT ROAD RESCUE AT 843-676-2900. |
