Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Horton emergency vehicles built on Ford F450, F550, and F600 chassis. The left rear steel brake line can contact the strut mount when the rear suspension is lowered, damaging the brake line.
The risk
A damaged line can leak brake fluid, causing a loss of brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
