What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 structural vehicle defect where a wheelchair occupant could fall and sustain injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Mobility Transportation Service (MTS) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Paratransit vehicles manufactured between November 2006 and October 2010. These vehicles are equipped with Braun Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 928 units.
The defect involves the roll stop latches on the outer barrier, which 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 elevated, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
MTS will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on September 27, 2012. Owners may contact Mobility Transportation Service at 1-734-453-6452 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
