ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Braun Industries, Inc. (Braun Ambulances) is recalling certain 2021-2026 Chief XL I, Chief XL III, 2021-2025 Express Plus I, Liberty I, 2025 Express III, Select Chief XL I, and Super Chief I emergency vehicles equipped with a Pran system. The battery isolator may fail, causing a loss of electrical systems such as interior, exterior lighting, and patient support systems.
- What it can cause
- A loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. A loss of patient support systems can delay care, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Braun Service or an authorized dealer will update the software, modify wiring, and replace the battery isolator, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 2026. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-877-344-9990. Braun Ambulances number for this recall is 2025-02.
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 162 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,237 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 471. It covers model years 2021 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Braun Ambulances vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 4 times before this, most recently in April 2024 as 24V307000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V677000 (vehicle speed control), 24V307000 (electrical system), 24V082000 (exterior lighting), 24V063000 (electrical system).
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 Industries, Inc. with NHTSA on December 31, 2025 as campaign 25V914000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
