Details

What's wrong: Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the wheelchair liftâ’s outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

Why it matters: 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 and sustain injury.

The fix: Winnebago is working with braun to identify and notify owners, and braun dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The safety recall began on March 30, 2012.
