Recall 12V442000
Equipment Adaptive/mobility — Mts · reported 11 Sep 2012 · 928 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Mobility Transportation Service (MTS) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Paratransit vehicles manufactured from November 2006 through October 2010 that are 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.
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
MTS will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on September 27, 2012. Owners may contact Mobility Transportation Service at 1-734-453-6452.
