2004–2007 Braun Sienna Rampvan recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain handicapped mobility conversion rampvans manufactured by independent mobility systems and built on toyota minivan chassis, the driver side rear axle beam mount may not have been adequately welded to the chassis. This may result in a squeaking noise, a rough ride, or degradation in vehicle control.
💥 The risk
The mount may become partially separated from the chassis. Passengers, pedestrians, or other motorists may be injured or killed.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will conduct a thorough inspection, reweld if necessary, and apply a supplemental reinforcement kit free of charge. The recall began on january 29, 2008. Owners may contact braun at 800-488-0359.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
