Daimler recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
Daimler is recalling certain 2008-2009 daimler sprinter mini-buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
What could happen
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 wheelchairâs occupant could fall and sustain injury.
The fix
Daimler is working with braun to notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The safety recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact daimler at 1-800-882-8054.
