Recall 94V-102: 1993 Medtec Ambulance
MEDTEC AMBULANCE CORP. recall for structure, reported to NHTSA on Jun 6, 1994, covering about 13 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
The lack of secure door latching in the rear door increases the possibility of injury to passengers riding in the rear of the ambulance.
The fix
Replace the trimark latch with a different design latch.
