Plain-English summary

C & C Ford is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2011 Ford E-250 and E-350 vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts installed as aftermarket equipment by C & C Ford.

The recall is due to a defect where the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned over time and with frequent use. This condition 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 or sustain injury.

Owners will be notified by C & C Ford on October 18, 2012. Repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact C & C Ford at 1-270-333-9040 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
