Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Braun Industries, Inc. (Braun Ambulances) is recalling 7 of its 2025-2026 Demers FXP174 ambulances because the floors may not be strong enough to keep seats secured during a crash. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for seating systems and seat belt anchorages. Braun is currently developing a repair for this issue and will notify owners once the fix is ready.

Risk

If the floor fails during a collision, the seats may pull away from their anchorages, preventing the seat belts and seating system from properly restraining occupants and significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.

  1. Check your vehicle records to determine if you own a 2025-2026 Demers FXP174 ambulance.
  2. Contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-800-363-7591 to confirm if your specific unit is affected by recall number 2026-1.
  3. Watch for an interim notification letter from Braun Ambulances, which is expected to be mailed by March 9, 2026, explaining the safety risks.
  4. Once a remedy is finalized, you will receive a second letter; follow the instructions in that letter to schedule a free repair at an authorized dealer.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls for additional information.
