- The defect
- Braun Ambulances is recalling certain 2020 Demers Ambulances MXP153 Ford F-Series Gas, MXP153 Dodge Ram, and 2020-2021 MXP153 Ford F-Series Diesel emergency vehicles. The medical oxygen tube and electrical wires may become damaged due to insufficient clearance from the ceiling spacers.
- What it can cause
- Damage to the wires and medical oxygen tube increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will remove the ceiling panels and spacers, replace wires and oxygen network tubing, and create a routing channel inside the insulation board for all wires, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on October 6, 2021. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-877-344-9990.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 9 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Braun Ambulances with NHTSA on September 23, 2021 as campaign 21V740000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
