Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Braun Ambulances is recalling 628 emergency vehicles across several models from the 2020-2024 model years, including the Chief XL, Express Plus, Liberty, Super Chief, Signature Series, and Express III. These vehicles are equipped with Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes that contain a firmware defect. If a short circuit or wiring failure occurs, the system may fail to shut off power, leading to overloaded electrical circuits. Braun will provide a free firmware update to correct this issue.

Risk

The faulty firmware can allow electrical circuits to overheat during a short circuit. This creates an immediate risk of fire within the vehicle's electrical system, which could endanger occupants and medical staff.
