DEFECT #1 - SEAT BELTS:REAR


Posted on: 2011-12-02
Description
Medix is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 type ii ambulances, manufactured from september 1, 2007, through november 16, 2011.  Due to oversight, medix installed seats in a rear facing position in the patient compartment with a type i (lap belt only) seat belt configuration.  Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 208, ¿occupant crash protection.¿

Consequence
Use of a non-conforming seat belt may increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action
Medix will notify owners, and will replace the seat belt as required to a type ii design (lap and shoulder belt) free of charge.  The safety recall is expected to begin during january 2012.  Owners may contact medix at 1-574-266-0911.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .
