Defect: Braun Northwest is recalling certain 2020-2021 Northstar ambulances. In the event of a short circuit or wiring failure, the firmware in the vehicle multiplex system may fail to shut off the output pin, resulting in overloaded electrical circuits.
Risk: Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
Fix: Braun Northwest will update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 20224. Owners may contact Braun Northwest customer service at 1-877-344-9990.
