Details

What's wrong: Mobility specialists, Inc. (mobility specialists) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Ford E-150 vans modified by mobility specialists and equipped with braun ncl-2, and nvl-2 wheel chair lifts. 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: Mobility specialists will notify owners and will replace the affected parts, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014.
