Plain-English summary
Creative Bus Sales, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Chevrolet and GMC C5500, and Ford E-450 and Econoline 350 vehicles equipped with Braun wheelchair lifts. The recall covers 227 vehicles. The defect involves the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the lifts, which may become bent or misaligned over time or 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.
Braun is conducting this recall on behalf of Creative Bus Sales. Owners will be notified, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on November 23, 2012.
