Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Braun Corporation is recalling certain 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan commercial vans that were converted by Braun between January 21, 2009 and March 19, 2010. During the conversion process to add wheelchair accessibility features, the chassis was raised and the floor was lowered, which brought the fuel fill pipe into closer proximity to the left rear tire. In rough or aggressive driving, the tire may intermittently contact the fuel fill pipe, potentially wearing a hole in one or both components over time.
If the fuel fill pipe is compromised, this could result in a vehicle fire. If the tire is damaged, it could cause loss of vehicle control due to tire pressure loss. Braun will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2010. Affected owners should contact Braun toll-free at 1-800-488-0359.
