What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: DIESEL POWERED, RUBBER TIRE STREET CARS, 24,OOO LBS. GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT EQUIPPED WITH A MOBILE-TECH, MODEL 3213, WHEEL CHAIR STEP LIFT. THE PASSIVE STEP LIFT'S BARRIER WHICH KEEPS A WHEEL CHAIR AND ITS OCCUPANT FROM ROLLING OFF THE LIFT PAD FAILS WHEN HIT BY A POWERED WHEEL CHAIR.

The risk

FAILURE OF THE WHEEL CHAIR BARRIER MAY ALLOW THE POWERED WHEELCHAIR TO FALL OFF THE LIFT PAD, RESULTING IN INJURIES TO ITS OCCUPANT.

The remedy

CHANGE THE WHEELCHAIR RESTRAINING BARRIER SO THAT WHEEL CHAIRS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROLL OVER THE EDGE.

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.
