What NHTSA recorded

Certain ambulances fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." no side or rear red reflex reflectors were installed as required by the standard.

Possible consequence

During emergency situations at night without any reflectors, the rear of the ambulance may not be as visible to other vehicles increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install the red reflex reflectors to meet guidelines free of charge. The recall began on may 13, 2005. Owners may contact road rescue at 843-676-2900.
