- The defect
- Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Horton emergency vehicles built on Ford F450, F550, and F600 chassis. The left rear steel brake line can contact the strut mount when the rear suspension is lowered, damaging the brake line.
- What it can cause
- A damaged line can leak brake fluid, causing a loss of brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace and secure the brake line as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2024. 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.nhtsa.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 34 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% 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 model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Horton vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic once before this, most recently in May 2020 as 20V291000. 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 February 19, 2024 as campaign 24V120000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
