What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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 remedy

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.

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.
