Recall 19V276 affects 196 2016-2019 Aev Traumahawk ambulances for reversed back-up camera images. Repair is free at any franchised Aev dealer.
Aev is recalling 196 2016-2019 Traumahawk ambulances because the ASA Electronics back-up camera display can reset to factory defaults and show the rear image reversed. That reversed view can lead a driver to steer the wrong way around an object behind the vehicle, increasing crash risk; Aev dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The back-up camera display on 2016-2019 Aev Traumahawk ambulances is the screen the driver uses to see behind the ambulance while reversing. On these vehicles, the ASA Voyager VOM74MM mirror monitor shows the camera image in the rearview mirror area, so the driver can check the space behind the vehicle before backing up.
The problem is inside the monitor settings. Affected monitors can reload factory default settings and show the rear camera image reversed. That makes the display show the opposite left-right view from what the driver expects, which can lead to wrong steering corrections while backing up.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver sees the problem only when the rear camera image appears reversed on the mirror monitor.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A reversed rear camera image can make steering corrections feel backwards while backing up. If an object is behind the vehicle, the driver can turn the wrong way to avoid it, increasing the risk of a crash. Use direct mirrors and visual checks until the repair is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Aev dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2019 Aev Traumahawk is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Aev dealer to schedule the free harness relay capacitor module repair that keeps the back-up camera image from reversing.
- Bring the recall notice if Aev mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V276 when you call.
- Use mirrors and a spotter when backing until the repair is complete; do not rely only on the back-up camera image.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Aev technician adds a harness relay capacitor module to the backup camera display circuit so the camera image does not reverse back to the factory default setting. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. AEV has a general reimbursement plan on file for qualifying related repairs paid before the recall notice. If you already paid for this camera display repair, ask the service desk or Halcore customer support how to submit documentation under that plan.
