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, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for unreported injury risks.

Plain-English summary

Glaval Bus Division is recalling certain buses equipped with Braun Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall addresses a defect where the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned over time and with frequent use.

If the latches are insufficiently secured, a wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.

The affected vehicles include the Glaval Titan, Titan II, Sport, Primetime, Universal, and Apollo models, as well as the Glaval Bus Concorde II and Entourage models, manufactured between 2006 and 2011. Glaval will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. Owners may contact Glaval Bus at 1-800-347-7440 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4233.
