NHTSA recall 14V197000

What's wrong: Cummings mobility conversion & supply, Inc. (cummings) is recalling various model year 1994-2011 Ford and Chevrolet vans equipped with braun ncl-2, and nvl-2 wheel chair lifts manufactured November 20, 2006, through September 10, 2010. Over time, and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the lifts in these vans 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: Braun corporation notified all the vehicle owners, and cummings mobility replaced the recalled parts with new parts, free of charge. The recall was completed as of April 10, 2014.
