Braun Wheelchair Lifts: Equipment Adaptive/mobility recall
NHTSA campaign 24E017000 · 92 units potentially affected · filed Feb 15, 2024
What's 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."
Why it matters
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.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
