EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
- The defect
- Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2018 AEV Traumahawk Type 3 ambulances. The A/C input power cord for the Sensata inverter may be undersized for certain inverter applications, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire or a shock hazard.
- What the dealer does
- Halcore will notify owners, instructing them to contact Sensata for a replacement power cord, free of charge. The recall began April 27, 2020. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-800-447-0343.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
AEV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in December 2016 as 16V904000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Halcore Group, Inc. with NHTSA on March 4, 2020 as campaign 20V131000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
