Over time, and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

Collins will notify owners and repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on june 22, 2012. Owners may contact the braun customer experience group at 1-800-488-0359 or collins bus customer service at 1-800-533-1850 ext. 424.
