NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
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 remedy
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.
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.
