Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Braun Corporation is recalling certain Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts that were manufactured between November 20, 2006, and September 10, 2010, and installed on various vans and transit buses. The recall also includes model year 2008 through 2011 Braun-modified Ford E-350 paratransit vans. The problem involves roll stop latches on the outer barrier that may become bent or misaligned over time with frequent use, which could allow a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop.
If the roll stop fails while the lift platform is elevated, the wheelchair occupant could fall and sustain injury. Braun will notify owners, and dealers will repair the affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on March 30, 2012. Owners who believe their vehicle is affected should contact Braun Customer Service Center at 1-800-488-0359.
