Recall 23V117000

Structure › Body › Step/ladder — Demers · reported 23 Feb 2023 · 64 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Braun Ambulances (Braun) is recalling certain 2022 Demers ambulances, models MX164E, MX170E, MXP150E, MXP150Z, MXP153E, MXP170MLE, MXP170Z, and 2020, 2022 MXP170E. The rear step of the ambulance may fail under weight due to incorrect welding.

The risk

A rear entry step that unexpectedly fails while in use increases the risk of injury to the user.

The fix

Braun will send a reinforcement plate to be installed on the rear step, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2023. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-877-344-9990.

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.
