Plain-English summary
Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply, Inc. is recalling various model year 1994-2011 Ford and Chevrolet vans equipped with Braun NCL-2 and NVL-2 wheelchair lifts. The affected lifts were manufactured between November 20, 2006, and September 10, 2010. The recall covers 66 vehicles, including Ford E-350 models from 1994, 1998, and 2007-2011, as well as Chevrolet C5500 and G3500 models from 2008.
The defect involves the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the lifts, which may become bent or misaligned over time 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 Corporation notified all vehicle owners, and Cummings Mobility replaced the recalled parts with new parts free of charge. The recall was completed as of April 10, 2014. Owners may contact Cummings customer service at 1-800-639-5438 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
