Sjc recall: Equipment
What is wrong
SJC Industries (SJC) is recalling certain model year 2012 McCoy-Miller and Marque ambulance vehicles, manufactured from November 1, 2011, through August 9, 2012. The ambulance box mounting bolts were not properly torqued to specification. As such, the mounting bolts could become loose and fall off the vehicle.
What could happen
Without correctly tightened mounting bolts, the ambulance compartment box can detach from the vehicle chassis, which in the event of a crash, may result in the passengers having an increased risk of injury.
The fix
SJC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the mounting bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on September 6, 2012. Owners may contact Thor Industries at 1-937-596-6849, ext 7363 or SJC Industries at 1-574- 970-6300.
