Braun Ambulances is recalling 11 of its 2022 Demers MXP153E ambulances because the rear battery compartment may have been manufactured without a necessary ventilation hole. This missing hole can prevent proper airflow, causing the battery to overcharge and emit hazardous vapors. Owners are being instructed to stop driving these vehicles until they can be repaired by a dealer. To fix the issue, dealers will drill the required ventilation hole and install a filter in the rear battery compartment at no cost to the owner.
A lack of ventilation can cause the battery to overcharge and release battery vapors, which significantly increases the risk of a fire or chemical-related injuries. Because of this danger, owners should not drive their ambulances until the safety remedy has been completed.
Dealers will drill a ventilation hole and install a filter in the rear battery compartment free of charge.
