What this recall means for you

If you own an affected vehicle, an authorized dealer will remove the ceiling panels and spacers, replace the wires and oxygen network tubing, and create a routing channel inside the insulation board for all wires. The repair is free. Owner letters were mailed on October 6, 2021. You can contact Braun Ambulances customer service at 1-877-344-9990, and you should check your VIN for open recalls.
