Defect: Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2017 Horton ambulances, models 623, 603F, 453, and 457, built on Ford F-350, F-450, or F-550 chassis equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.) made by LiquidSpring. Due to an incorrect torque specification, the rear brake caliper banjo bolts may have been overtightened.
Consequence: The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Horton will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2017.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
