The defect
ON CERTAIN AMBULANCES, THE COCKPIT SEATING SYSTEM ANCHORAGE FOR THE FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS INCLUDES A FLAT WASHER BETWEEN THE CAP SCREW AND THE MOUNTING FLANGE OF THE COCKPIT SEAT RISER ASSEMBLY. THIS WASHER MAY HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE FASTENER ASSEMBLY.
The risk
THE SEAT RISER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS FLOOR, INCREASING THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES TO DETERMINE IF THE WASHER IS MISSING, AND IF SO, REMOVE THE CAP SCREW AND REPLACE WITH THE PROPER WASHER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 26, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MCCOY MILLER AT 1-574-264-7511.
