Braun Recalls 2008-2010 Town & Country and Caravan Vans for Fuel Pipe Hazard

Plain-English summary

Braun Corporation is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan commercial enterprisers that were modified by Braun between January 21, 2009, and March 19, 2010. The recall involves 843 vehicles.

During the conversion process to accommodate wheelchair accessibility, the chassis was raised and the floor lowered. This modification brought the fuel fill pipe into closer proximity to the left rear tire. In rough or aggressive driving conditions, the tire may intermittently contact the fuel fill pipe.

This contact can wear a hole in the tire or the fuel pipe over time. A compromised fuel pipe may result in a vehicle fire, while a tire pressure loss may lead to a loss of vehicle control. Braun will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on June 4, 2010. Owners may contact Braun toll-free at 1-800-488-0359.
