C & C Ford recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
C & C Ford is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2011 E-250 and E-350 vehicles equipped with Century-2 and Vista-2 wheelchair lifts installed as aftermarket equipment. 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 wheelchair's occupant could fall or sustain injury.
The fix
C & C Ford will notified owners on October 18, 2012. The repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. Owners may contact C & C Ford at 1-270-333-9040.
