Recall 12V404000
Equipment Adaptive/mobility — Turtle Top · reported 14 Aug 2012 · 577 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 transit buses equipped with Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
The 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.
The fix
Turtle Top will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2012. Owners may contact Turtle Top at 574-831-4340.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
