SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Issued by Halcore Group, Inc. · Reported Feb 27, 2017 · 11 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2017 Horton ambulances, models 623, 603F, 453, and 457, built on Ford F-350, F-450, or F-550 chassis equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.) made by LiquidSpring. Due to an incorrect torque specification, the rear brake caliper banjo bolts may have been overtightened.

Consequence

The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Horton will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2017. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816, extension 1, or at [email protected] or Horton customer service at 1-614-534-8181.
