Defect Description

Braun Ambulances (Braun) 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.), part numbers DS135RS3A, DS135RS3AF and DS135RS3-DM. The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, possibly causing excessive wear and a loss of rear brakes.

Safety Consequence

A worn rear brake caliper flexible line may cause brake fluid leakage which may result in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

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