What's wrong
Braun Ambulance (Braun) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Chief XL, Express, Express Plus, Liberty, Super Chief, TLC, and Signature Series ambulances. The rear door top striker bolts may become loose and dislodge while the vehicle is in motion.
Why it matters
Dislodged striker bolts can cause the rear door latch to fail, allowing the door to open during a crash, and increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the striker bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 17, 2022. Owners may contact Braun's customer service at 1-877-344-9990. Braun's number for this recall is 22-001.
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.
