THE REAR FACING AMBULANCE ATTENDANT SEAT UTILIZES A STEEL FLOOR REINFORCEMENT PLATE ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE ALUMINUM FLOOR SUBSTRUCTURE AND THE REINFORCEMENT PLATE WAS OMITTED IN SOME AMBULANCE BODIES.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGE MAY DISCONNECT FROM THE FLOOR CAUSING THE ASSEMBLY TO FAIL TO RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THAT OCCUPANT.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
