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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a wheelchair occupant could fall and sustain injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.
Plain-English summary
Elkhart Coach is recalling certain 2006-2010 Elkhart ECII and ECI buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 761 vehicles.
Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the wheelchair lift may become bent or misaligned. This defect allows a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
Elkhart will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on April 12, 2012. Owners may contact Braun Customer Service at 1-800-488-0359 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
