Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for potential falls and injuries.
Plain-English summary
MobilityWorks is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-Series vehicles equipped with Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 1,219 vehicles.
The defect involves the roll stop latches on the outer barrier, which may become bent or misaligned over time and with frequent use. This could allow a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is elevated, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
MobilityWorks will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on October 19, 2012. Owners may contact MobilityWorks at 1-800-769-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
