DEFECT #2 - SUSPENSION:REAR
Posted on: 2020-05-20
Description
Halcore group, inc. (halcore) is recalling certain 2018-2020 horton emergency vehicles (hev) type i & type iii ambulances built on a ram 4500 or 5500 chassis and equipped with compressible liquid adaptive suspension systems (c.l.a.s.s.), part numbers ds135rs3a, ds135rs3af, ds135rs3-dm.
