- 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.

- Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Medix been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Medix dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
