2022 Demers MXP153E recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Braun Ambulances (Braun) is recalling certain 2022 Demers MXP153E ambulances. The rear battery compartment may be missing the ventilation hole.
💥 The risk
A lack of ventilation may cause the battery to over charge and emit battery vapor, increasing the risk of an injury and/or fire.
🔧 The fix
Owners are advised not to drive their ambulances until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will drill a hole and install a filter in the rear battery compartment, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 2023. Owners may contact Braun's 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.)
