Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Braun Corporation is recalling certain 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan mobility conversion vehicles that were altered between January 21, 2009 and March 19, 2010. During the wheelchair accessibility conversion process, the chassis was raised and the floor was lowered, which brought the rear spring hats into closer proximity to the rear tires. In rough or aggressive driving situations, the tires may intermittently contact the rear spring hats, which can wear a hole in the tire over time.
If a hole develops in the tire from this contact, it may result in loss of vehicle control in the event of tire pressure loss, increasing the risk of a crash. Braun will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Braun toll-free at 1-800-488-0359 to arrange for the recall repair.
