2023-2026 Braun Type I Ambulances Recalled for Cruise Control Defect

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Braun Industries is recalling approximately 413 of its 2023-2026 Chief XL, Express Plus, Liberty, RMT US, and Select Chief XL Type I ambulances. The brake pedal switch in these vehicles may be damaged, which can prevent the cruise control system from turning off when the driver presses the brake pedal. Braun Ambulances will replace the affected brake switch free of charge to ensure the cruise control functions safely.

Risk

If the cruise control does not disengage when the brake is applied, the ambulance may accelerate unexpectedly as soon as the driver releases the brake pedal. This unexpected motion significantly increases the risk of a crash, particularly during emergency operations.
