2023–2024 Braun Ambulances Chief XL Type I & 2023, 2026 Braun Ambulances Chief XL Type III + 3 more recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Braun Ambulances (Braun) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Chief XL Type I, Chief XL Type III, Express Plus Type I, Express Type III, and Liberty Type I vehicles. The high contact nodes may cause the module mounted turn signals, backup alarm, brake lights, and rearview camera to turn on intermittently or fail to activate.
💥 The risk
Failure of vital visual systems reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the node and update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 26, 2024. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 419-232-7020. Braun's number for this recall is 2024-2.
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.)
