What happened

Braun Ambulances is recalling certain 2019 Chief XL Type I and Liberty ambulances built on Ram 4500 or 5500 chassis equipped with Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.). The rear brake caliper flexible line in these vehicles may have been routed to contact a suspension component, causing excessive wear that could lead to brake fluid leakage and a partial or complete loss of rear brakes, which increases crash risk.

Braun will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear brake caliper flexible lines and hardware at no charge. The recall began July 21, 2020. Owners of affected ambulances should contact Braun at 1-877-344-9990 to arrange the repair.
