Recall 26V098000

Structure › Underride — Demers Ambulances · reported 20 Feb 2026 · 7 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Braun Industries, Inc. (Braun Ambulances) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Demers FXP174 ambulances. The floor may have insufficient strength to secure the seats in position during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

Structural failure may prevent the seat from properly restraining an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

The remedy is currently under development. All affected vehicles were repaired by June 22, 2026. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-800-363-7591. Braun Ambulances number for this recall is 2026-1.
