Braun Ambulances is recalling 35 Type I ambulances, including the 2019-2023 Chief XL, Express Plus, and Liberty models built on Chevrolet medium and heavy-duty chassis. These vehicles were manufactured with Liquid Spring suspension systems that can rub directly against the right rear brake line, causing it to wear down over time and eventually fail. Owners should contact Braun to schedule a free repair where dealers will replace and reroute the affected brake lines.
The suspension system can physically wear through the rear brake line, leading to a sudden loss of rear braking function. This failure significantly increases the distance required to stop the vehicle and raises the risk of a crash for first responders and patients.
