Invacare Recalls TDX Power Wheelchairs Due to Fire and Injury Risk

Plain-English summary

Invacare Corporation is recalling specific models of TDX SP, TDX SR, and TDX SI power wheelchairs. The recall involves 665 affected power wheelchairs and 15 post-fuse assembly service parts. The products were distributed nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico, as well as in Australia, Germany, and New Zealand.

The recall was initiated due to a potential risk of fire and serious injury. The post fuse assemblies may have a short between the positive ring terminal and the terminal battery bracket. This defect creates an alternate current path around the fuse, which could lead to hazardous conditions.

Consumers who own these specific models should stop using the wheelchairs and contact Invacare Corporation for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The affected model numbers include TDXSI, TDXSP, TDXSR, and FDX variants, as listed in the official recall notice.
