Plain-English summary

Vantage Mobility International, LLC is recalling certain 2012-2018 AMS Genesis wheelchair vans built on Toyota Sienna vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the rubber brake hoses attached to the rear wheel assembly may be too short. This causes the hoses to rub against the rear axle trailing arm.

The contact between the hoses and the axle may cause the rear brake hoses to fail. This failure results in a loss of vehicle control and reduced braking ability, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on December 16, 2019.

Vantage will notify owners, and dealers will install a set of rear brake hoses that provide proper clearance, free of charge. Owners may contact Vantage customer service at 1-800-488-9082 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
