Braun Ambulances is recalling 29 vehicles, including 2023-2024 Chief XL I, Chief XL III, Express Plus I, Express III, and Liberty I models. A firmware defect in the vehicle's electrical nodes may prevent the system from shutting off power during a short circuit or wiring failure, leading to overloaded circuits. Dealers will provide a free firmware update to correct the issue, and owner notification letters were mailed in June 2024.
The overloaded electrical circuits can overheat significantly, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire during operation.
