The defect
C & C Ford is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2011 E-250 and E-350 vehicles equipped with Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts installed as aftermarket equipment. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
The risk
A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair's occupant could fall or sustain injury.
The remedy
C & C Ford will notified owners on October 18, 2012. The repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact C & C Ford at 1-270-333-9040.
Notes
Owners may also contact The National highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
