2020 HORTON TYPE III Complaints and Recall Information
The 2020 HORTON TYPE III has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues concerning critical safety components such as airbags, brakes, and electrical systems based on recall data.
There are five recalls for the vehicle affecting multiple systems including airbags, electrical displays, service brakes, and suspension components. The recalls mainly address defects that could compromise occupant safety or emergency response functionality.
Recalls- Air bags. NHTSA campaign 19V608000 affects 80 vehicles. Defective manufacturing of the Inflatable Head Cushion and Knee Air Bag may cause the cushions to detach and fail to inflate during deployment. This increases injury risk in a crash. Halcore will replace the airbags free of charge.
- Electrical system. Recall 20V745000 involves 251 vehicles with Weldon i4G Vivtech Displays where the processor may stop working suddenly. Failure of the control panel can delay emergency services, raising injury risk. Dealers will inspect and repair the display at no cost.
- Service brakes. The rear brake caliper flexible line in 17 vehicles under recall 20V291000 may contact suspension parts causing wear and brake fluid leaks. This could lead to partial or total rear brake loss, increasing crash risk. Halcore will inspect, modify, or replace brake lines as required.
- Hydraulic service brakes. The same 17 vehicles from recall 20V291000 share issues with brake line routing causing wear and potential brake failure. Owners will receive inspection and repair kits free of charge.
- Rear suspension. The 17 vehicles in recall 20V291000 also face potential damage to rear suspension components due to brake line interference. Affected lines will be adjusted or replaced by dealers at no cost.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. It is advisable to document all repair attempts and consult a consumer protection attorney if safety recalls are not addressed promptly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2020 Horton Emergency Vehicles Type I and III and ambulances equipped with Weldon i4G Vivtech Displays. The processor that runs the display may stop functioning without warning, causing items operated through the control panel to not function.
Risk: If the control panel stops functioning, a delay in emergency services may occur, increasing the risk of injury.

17 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:REAR
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Horton Emergency Vehicles (HEV) Type I & Type III ambulances built on a Ram 4500 or 5500 chassis and equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.), part numbers DS135RS3A, DS135RS3AF, DS135RS3-DM. The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, possibly causing excessive wear and a loss of rear brakes. The affected system component is the rear brake caliper flexible line which may be causing brake caliper to wear due to contact suspension components.
Risk: A worn rear brake caliper flexible line may cause brake fluid leakage which may result in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Risk: In the event of a crash, if the cushions do not inflate properly, they may not provide the intended protection to the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
