Vehicle recall 94V102000 · June 6, 1994

1993 Medtec Ambulance

The outside latch of the trimark rear doors does not work in unison with the striker, causing the rods of the doors to bind.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
The outside latch of the trimark rear doors does not work in unison with the striker, causing the rods of the doors to bind. This binding caused the striker paddle to break, and the doors to not completely latch shut.
Consequence
The lack of secure door latching in the rear door increases the possibility of injury to passengers riding in the rear of the ambulance.
Remedy
Replace the trimark latch with a different design latch.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Medtec 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 Medtec dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
