Reported: 2016-08-26 (August 26, 2016) · Model years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Horton ambulances, models 453, 457, 503, 553, 603, and 623, manufactured November 29, 2013, to March 1, 2016. The affected vehicles may have an improperly sealed Cool-Tech air-conditioning condenser controller wire harness that can allow water to enter the controller housing.
Consequence: If water gets into the controller housing, the controller may short circuit, increasing the risk of an electrical fire.
Remedy: Halcore will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Cool-Tech condenser fan controller assembly, free of charge. Halcore issued an interim notification to owners on September 9, 2016. The recall began on October 26, 2016. Owners may contact Horton customer service at 1-614-317-9856, or by email at warranty@hortonambulance.com

Reported: 2014-09-12 (September 12, 2014) · Model years: 2014

The mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame may fail, allowing the fluid tank to separate from the vehicle.
Consequence: If the suspension fluid tank mount fractures and the tank separates from the chassis, the tank may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Halcore will notify owners, and Halcore dealers will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-614-539-8181. Owners may also contact Liquid Spring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 109.
