What's wrong

Braun Ambulances (Braun) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Chief XL Type I, Express Plus Type I, and Liberty Type I ambulances built on Chevrolet medium and heavy-duty chassis. The Liquid Spring suspension systems may come in direct contact with the right rear brake line, causing excessive wear and possibly resulting in the loss of the rear brakes.

Consequence

The loss of rear brake function can increase the risk of a crash.
