What was wrong

Defect

Quality Van Sales, Inc., (Quality Van Sales) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-Series vehicles equipped with Braun Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

Risk

A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair's occupant could fall and sustain injury.

Manufacturer remedy

The safety recall began on August 29, 2012. The repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact Quality Van Sales, Inc., at 1-800-769-8267.
