What happened

Braun Industries is recalling certain 2019-2020 Demers MXP170E Type I and MXP150E Type I ambulances built on Ram 4500 and 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, which can cause excessive wear and brake fluid leakage. This leakage could result in a partial or complete loss of rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Braun will notify owners and replace the rear brake caliper flexible lines and hardware free of charge. The recall began July 21, 2020. Owners should contact Demers customer service at 1-800-363-7591 to arrange the repair.
