Details

What's wrong: Certain special purpose coaches equipped with braun platform lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." A passenger can approach the exposed lift doorway without the audible alarm alerting them of their proximity to the threshold.

Why it matters: Should the threshold warning system fail to operate, the lift user can fall from the vehicle and be seriously injured.

The fix: Winnebago is working with braun corporation to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06E094).
