Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued recall Z-2851-2026 for the Quantum 4Front 2HD powered wheelchair (model/catalog number Quantum 4Front 2HD, software version 2.0.11, new version 2.0.13). The recall targets the controller component and addresses a software issue that may cause unexpected parking brake stops while the wheelchair is in use or system crashes when not in operation. Users who have purchased or received this model between the specified lot codes should cease use immediately and contact their dealer or manufacturer for replacement or repair. The manufacturer, Pride Mobility Products Corp., is responsible for addressing this safety concern.
The primary hazard involves potential mechanical and electrical failures within the wheelchair's control system that could result in loss of control, unexpected stopping, or system malfunction. While the recall does not cite any reported fatalities or severe injuries, the described risks include falls and injury from sudden braking or system failure. Consumers are advised to stop using the affected units and follow the manufacturer's guidance for resolution. The widespread distribution across multiple U.S. states and internationally underscores the importance of immediate action.
This recall falls under FDA Class II classification and focuses on a risk-of-harm product where actual injuries have not yet been confirmed. The identified hazards relate to brake performance and control system stability rather than direct external threats like pathogens or allergens.
