Summary of the Safety Concern:
ON CERTAIN AMBULANCES EQUIPPED WITH THE "SMART DISPLAY" ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTAINING FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET) OUTPUT BOARDS, THE POWER DISTRIBUTION PANEL FOR THE SMART DISPLAY ARE EQUIPPED WITH TYPE 1 CIRCUIT PROTECTION. THIS ALLOWS THE BOARD TO SHUT DOWN IF AN OVER-HEATING CONDITION OR AN OVER CURRENT CONDITION IS DETECTED. AS THE BOARD COOLS DOWN, IT COMES BACK ON, ALLOWING THE BOARD TO CONTINUALLY CYCLE LEADING TO POSSIBLE FAILURE. |
||
|
Consequence:
THE BOARDS CAN POSSIBLY OVERHEAT OR MELT DOWN, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW TRANSISTOR FET BOARD THAT CONTAINS TYPE 2 CIRCUIT PROTECTION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 29, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT ROAD RESCUE AT 1-800-328-3804. |
