Braun recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
The Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain BraunAbility Wheelchair Lifts, with part number NULC65S32X60I. The outer barrier may deploy unexpectedly. As such, these lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
What could happen
Unexpected outer barrier deployment may result in the platform not securely retaining the wheelchair, increasing the risk of injury to lift occupants.
The fix
Dealers will relocate the ground sensing pressure switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 13, 2024. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
