The problem

Transportation collaborative incorporated (tci) is recalling one model year 2007 dw7+9195frl manufactured by u.s. Bus and equipped with a braun century-2 or a vista-2 wheelchair lift.

The risk

If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

The fix

Tci will notify the owner, and the repairs will be performed by an authorized braun dealer free of charge. The safety recall began on may 9, 2012. Owners may contact tci at 845-988-0419.
