The problem
Braun Ambulances (Braun) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Demers TSE and EXE Ambulances for a problem with the seat belt system installed in the rear medical module of the ambulance at the side-facing bench seating positions. Continued use of affected upper seat belt harness may result in a partial or complete separation from its mounting.

Separation of the upper harness may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix
Braun Ambulances will notify owners, and dealers will remove and reinstall the harness mounting bolts with a modified configuration, free of charge. The recall began November 16, 2020. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances customer service at 1-877-344-9990.
