MOBILE MEDICAL recall 90V-067 covers 270 1983–1987 Mobile Medical Ambulance for a door: hinge and attachments problem, reported to NHTSA on April 9, 1990.
Source: NHTSA recall 90V067000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by NHTSA (compliance).
The problem
ENTRY DOORS MAY NOT MEET LONGITUDINAL LOAD REQUIREMENTS DUE TO OMISSION OF MUSHROOM CAP ON THE STRIKER PIN, REQUIRED BY FMVSS 206.
The risk
UNDER SEVERE CONDITIONS, SUCH AS EXTREME IMPACT TO THE MODULAR BOX OR A ROLLOVER, DOORS COULD SEPARATE FROM THE PIN AND OPEN; THIS WOULD ALLOW OCCUPANTS TO BE EXPELLED FROM AMBULANCE IF NOT SECURED BY SAFETY BELTS.
The fix
INSTALL NEW STRIKER PINS THAT MEET FMVSS 206 REQUIREMENTS.
SYSTEM: DOORS;FMVSS 206.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: AMBULANCES.
