The defect
Braun Industries, Inc. (Braun Ambulances) 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 brake pedal switch may have been damaged, preventing the cruise control from disengaging when the brake is depressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems" and 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
The risk
Failure to turn off the cruise control may cause unexpected acceleration as the brake is released, increasing the risk of crash.
