THE REAR FACING AMBULANCE ATTENDANT SEAT UTILIZES A STEEL FLOOR REINFORCEMENT PLATE ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE ALUMINUM FLOOR SUBSTRUCTURE AND THE REINFORCEMENT PLATE WAS OMITTED IN SOME AMBULANCE BODIES.
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGE MAY DISCONNECT FROM THE FLOOR CAUSING THE ASSEMBLY TO FAIL TO RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THAT OCCUPANT.
