NHTSA recall 14V216000

What's wrong: Advanced wheels of technology, Inc. (advanced wheels) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Ford E-350 vehicles modified by advanced wheels and 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 of the vehicle owners, and advanced wheels replaced the recalled parts with new parts, free of charge.
