Recall 14V193 covers 84 2010, 2013, 2014 Wheeled Coach ambulances with ECX timer software power loss. Free update at any franchised Wheeled Coach dealer.

Wheeled Coach is recalling 84 ambulances from 2010, 2013, 2014, including AMBULANCE-M2 Chassis and T1 models, under recall 14V193 because an ECX timer can lose power when the vehicle starts. That power loss can start a five minute countdown that cuts power to patient-area electrical systems, increasing injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

On the affected 2010, 2013, 2014 Wheeled Coach AMBULANCE-M2 Chassis, T1, T2, T3, and Terrastar ambulances, the ECX timer is part of the electrical equipment. The timer, part number EL00230 from ECX Electronics Corporation, is meant to manage timed electrical functions so connected equipment receives power in the correct sequence.

The problem is a brief power loss during vehicle startup. When the ambulance is started, the ECX timer loses power for a moment instead of holding its electrical state. That interruption affects the timer itself and the equipment tied to it, so the concern is centered on electrical operation at the start of a drive or response.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or fleet operator would notice the issue only when the timed electrical equipment does not stay powered as expected during startup.

Who's affected?

The scope spans AMBULANCE-M2 Chassis, T1, T2, T3, and Terrastar ambulance configurations across the 2010, 2013, and 2014 model years.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

A momentary power loss can start the ECX timer's five minute countdown. When that countdown ends, the timer disconnects power to electrical systems in the patient area, increasing injury risk for occupants. Schedule the software update when the dealer is ready. Repair will be free at any franchised Wheeled Coach dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2010, 2013, 2014 Wheeled Coach AMBULANCE-M2 Chassis, T3, T2, T1, or Terrastar ambulance is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Wheeled Coach repair instructions before scheduling the timer-software update.
  3. Call Wheeled Coach at 1-800-628-8178 with questions and reference recall number 14V193.
  4. Ask the dealer about the timer-software update that fixes the ECX timer countdown that can disconnect patient-area electrical power.
  5. Bring the recall notice Wheeled Coach mailed on May 19, 2014, if you have it.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Wheeled Coach technician updates the ECX timer software so the timer keeps power during vehicle start. The final dealer repair will be free once Wheeled Coach makes the remedy available, with the software update and labor covered under the recall. If your ambulance is included, ask the service desk to confirm the timer part number and explain when the software update is ready for your vehicle.
