Mobility Services Recalls Ford E-Series Vans with Wheelchair Lifts

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 injury from a fall from an elevated position, 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 Services, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vehicles equipped with Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 355 vehicles.

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 in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.

Mobility Services will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The recall began on October 15, 2012. Owners may contact Mobility Services, Inc. at 1-718-267-2921 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
