- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 15V371000
- Manufacturer: HME, Inc.
- Reported: 2015\-06\-15
- Owners notified: 2015\-07\-07

## What is wrong

HME, Inc. is recalling certain emergency vehicles manufactured January 1, 2014, to March 31, 2015 and built on a model year 2014\-2015 Ford F\-550 chassis.  The affected vehicles may detect an incorrect Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor \(EGT\) fault indicating that the vehicle is too hot, causing the engine management system to shut down the engine and prevent its immediate restart.


## What can happen

Engine shut down and a subsequent cool down period may delay medical treatment or assistance to those needing it, increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

HME will notify owners, and dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module \(PCM\) software, free of charge.  The recall began on July 7, 2015.  Owners may contact HME customer service at 1\-616\-261\-2636.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
