What is wrong
TriMark Corporation (TriMark) is recalling certain door striker bolts, model number 070-0100, assembled into door systems for ambulance manufacturers and distributors. The striker bolts may fail under load allowing the doors to open in the event of a crash. As such, these bolts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door locks and door retention components."
What can happen
If a door opens in a crash there would be an increased risk of injury.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
TriMark will notify the purchasers of the door systems, and will provide replacement Striker Bolts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Trimark customer service at 1-641-394-3188.

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.
