Halcore Group 2025–2026 Horton ambulances recalled for touchscreen display failure risk
What this means
The touchscreen display in certain 2025–2026 Horton Type I, Type III, and Critical Care ambulances may stop responding or fail to power on. This prevents activation of exterior emergency lights and other critical equipment, reducing visibility to other drivers and delaying emergency response.
- Contact Weldon customer service at 1-800-228-1161 or Halcore at 1-800-447-0343 to schedule a free firmware update and power line repair.
- Owner notification letters will be mailed October 5, 2026.
The agency's original wording
A loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Inoperative equipment can delay emergency response, increasing the risk of injury.
