- Summary
- Medix is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 type II ambulances, manufactured from September 1, 2007, through November 16, 2011. Due to oversight, medix installed seats in a rear facing position in the patient compartment with a type I (lap belt only) seat belt configuration. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 208, occupant crash protection.
- Consequence
- Use of a non-conforming seat belt may increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Medix will notify owners, and will replace the seat belt as required to a type II design (lap and shoulder belt) free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2012. Owners may contact medix at 1-574-266-0911.
