Powered Wheelchair Controller Software May Cause Unexpected Brake Stop

Pride Mobility is recalling 1,102 Quantum 1450 powered wheelchairs with controller software version 2.0.11 because reminder pop-ups can trigger an unexpected park brake stop while driving, risking falls or injury.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported. The hazard is a potential fall or injury from an unexpected park brake stop, which meets the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported illness or injury.

Plain-English summary

Pride Mobility Products Corp. is recalling 1,102 Quantum 1450 powered wheelchairs distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in Canada and Australia. The affected units use controller software version 2.0.11; a corrected version 2.0.13 is available.

The recall stems from a software issue where selecting the 'Remind Me Later' option for user reminders can cause reminder pop-up messages to appear while the wheelchair is in use. If this happens while the wheelchair is being driven, the wheelchair may perform an unexpected park brake stop, which may result in a fall or injury. If it occurs while the wheelchair is not being driven, the control system may crash and remain in pre-operational mode.

The affected units were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and internationally. Consumers should contact Pride Mobility or their healthcare provider to schedule a free software update to version 2.0.13.

Consumers should stop using the affected wheelchair if possible and contact Pride Mobility Products Corp. to arrange for a free software update. Healthcare providers and dealers have been notified of the recall.
