The problem

Startrans is recalling certain 2009 and 2010 mfsab school buses, equipped with braun 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

Startrans will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on june 7, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-574-642-0811.
