Lippert Recalls Q'Straint QRT-Max Wheelchair Restraints Due to Locking Defect

Lippert is recalling Q'Straint QRT-Max wheelchair restraints because the retractors may not lock, preventing proper securing of the wheelchair.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety restraint system where failure could lead to injury during transit, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Lippert is recalling certain Q'Straint QRT-Max wheelchair restraints. The defect involves the retractors, which may fail to lock. This failure prevents the wheelchair from being properly secured in the vehicle.

An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant or others in the vehicle. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or the specific distribution scope.

Dealers will replace the retractors as necessary, free of charge. The remedy schedule has not yet been decided. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514 for more information.
