What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Braun Ambulances is recalling certain 2020 Demers Ambulances MXP153 Ford F-Series Gas, MXP153 Dodge Ram, and 2020-2021 MXP153 Ford F-Series Diesel emergency vehicles. The medical oxygen tube and electrical wires may become damaged due to insufficient clearance from the ceiling spacers.

The risk

Damage to the wires and medical oxygen tube increases the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Dealers will remove the ceiling panels and spacers, replace wires and oxygen network tubing, and create a routing channel inside the insulation board for all wires, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on October 6, 2021. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-877-344-9990.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
