The problem

Transportation collaborative incorporated (tci) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 trans tech buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop.

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 owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on april 25, 2012. Owners may contact tci at 845-988-0419.
