2021 Braun Chief XL Type I & 2020 Braun TLC + 1 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Braun Ambulances is recalling certain 2021 Chief XL Type I, 2020 TLC, and Express Plus ambulances. An additional resistor was incorrectly installed on the printed circuit board, which can disrupt CAN network communication and cause vehicle lighting to fail.
💥 The risk
Inoperable vehicle lighting can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Braun Ambulances will replace the modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 20, 2022. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-877-344-9990.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
