Lifeline recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Life Line Emergency Vehicles (Life Line) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford chassis-based Type I ambulances equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors used to display the back-up camera image. These displays may unexpectedly 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.

Life Line will work with ASA to notify owners and provide a remedy, free of charge. The recall began March 29, 2019. Owners may contact ASA Electronics customer service at 1-800-384-4400 or Life Line Emergency Vehicles at 1-563-578-3317.
