Glaval / Glaval Bus recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
Glaval is recalling certain buses equipped with braun century-2 and/or 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
Glaval will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact glaval bus at 1-800-347-7440.
