2006–2011 Mobilityworks Ford E-Series recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
WMK Inc., d/b/a MobilityWorks, is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-Series vehicles equipped with Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
💥 The risk
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 and sustain injury.
🔧 The fix
MobilityWorks will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on October 19, 2012. Owners may contact MobilityWorks at 1-800-769-8267.
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.)
