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.

Safety risk
Failure to turn off the cruise control may cause unexpected acceleration as the brake is released, increasing the risk of crash.
