DEFECT #1 - STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Posted on: 1994-06-23
Description
The outside latch of the trimark rear doors does not work in unison with the striker, causing the rods of the doors to bind. This binding caused the striker paddle to break, and the doors to not completely latch shut.
Consequence
The lack of secure door latching in the rear door increases the possibility of injury to passengers riding in the rear of the ambulance.
Corrective Action
Replace the trimark latch with a different design latch.
