Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles converted for wheelchair access by BraunAbility, the wheelchair tie-down retractors may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the retractor(s) may not lock automatically. If this happens, the wheelchair may not be secured correctly and could move in a crash.
Note: This recall only affects certain Q'Straint QRT-DELUXE and QRT-MAX wheelchair retractors with the part number Q8-6200 or Q8-6209.
Safety Risk:
A wheelchair that moves in a crash could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, BraunAbility recommends you confirm the wheelchair is secured properly by attempting to move it before driving until the recall repairs have been completed. BraunAbility will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a BraunAbility service center to inspect and, if necessary, replace the wheelchair retractor(s).
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
