Aev recall: Back over prevention
What is wrong
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2016-2019 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) TraumaHawk ambulances equipped with ASA Electronics back-up camera displays. The affected displays may revert back to the factory default settings which may cause the camera image to be reversed.
What could happen
The driver may inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
AEV will notify owners and dealers will add a harness relay capacitor module to prevent the image from reversing, free of charge. The recall began June 11, 2019. Owners may contact ASA customer service at 1-800-384-4400 or Halcore at 1-800-447-0343.
