Plain-English summary
Daimler Coaches North America is recalling certain 2022-2024 Mercedes-Benz Tourrider Business and Tourrider Premium vehicles. This recall applies specifically to vehicles equipped with BraunAbility wheelchair lifts. The defect involves the outer barrier of the lift system, which may deploy unexpectedly. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
The unexpected deployment of the outer barrier may prevent the platform from securely retaining the wheelchair. This condition increases the risk of injury to lift occupants. No specific number of affected units or reported injuries is provided in the source text.
Dealers will relocate the ground sensing pressure switch to correct the issue, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 26, 2024. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches customer service at 1-416-624-3558 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
