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 remedy
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.
