The problem

Diamond coach corporation (diamond coach) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 pt and vip buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time, and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the wheelchair lift’s 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

Diamond coach is working with braun to identify and notify owners, and braun dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The safety recall began during june 2012. Owners may contact diamond coach at 1-800-442-4645.
