Braun Recalls 2011-2013 Rampvans Due to Accelerator Pedal Interference

Braun is recalling 2011-2013 Rampvan vehicles because the toe panel may interfere with the accelerator pedal, potentially causing unintended acceleration.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (accelerator pedal interference) that could lead to unintended acceleration and vehicle crashes, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Braun Corporation is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Rampvan vehicles manufactured between May 8, 2012, and January 3, 2013. These vehicles are modified Toyota Sienna minivans. The recall involves 732 units.

The defect involves the Braun-specific toe pan panel coming into close proximity to the accelerator pedal lever. This interference may prevent the pedal from returning to the idle position, which could result in unintended acceleration and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Braun dealers will modify the toe panel plastic as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 7, 2013. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
