Plain-English summary

Braun Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2026 Chief XL Type I, Express Plus Type I, Liberty Type I, RMT US Type I, and Select Chief XL Type I ambulances. The recall involves 413 vehicles.

The brake pedal switch may have been damaged, which can prevent the cruise control from disengaging when the brake is depressed. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 105 and 124. If the cruise control does not turn off, it may cause unexpected acceleration as the brake is released, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters were mailed on October 27, 2025. Braun Ambulances will replace the brake switch free of charge. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-877-344-9990. The recall number is 2025-1.
