Are you using ripped tags? It's a common error with them overwriting stock tags, or with large sound tags being split up into permutations incorrectly iirc. Since you're dealing with the campaign, it may just be easier to use Delicon20's campaign stuff here. It along with a stock tagset should open b40 fine, rather than trying to find the single defective tag in all that are used in the level.

Vanilla hek files, don't use the above otherwise I feel sad:

Try overwriting the vehicles folder and retest before you try anything else.
