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

Plain-English summary
Diamond Coach Corporation is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 PT and VIP buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 278 vehicles.
Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the wheelchair lift's outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. This defect could allow a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
Diamond Coach is working with Braun to identify and notify owners. Braun dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began during June 2012. Owners may contact Diamond Coach at 1-800-442-4645 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
