2025–2026 Demers Ambulances FXP174: Seats recall
NHTSA campaign 26V098000 · 7 units potentially affected · filed Feb 20, 2026
What's wrong
Braun Industries, Inc. (Braun Ambulances) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Demers FXP174 ambulances. The floor may have insufficient strength to secure the seats in position during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Why it matters
Structural failure may prevent the seat from properly restraining an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
The remedy is currently under development. All affected vehicles were repaired by June 22, 2026. Owners may contact Braun Ambulances' customer service at 1-800-363-7591. Braun Ambulances number for this recall is 2026-1.
