The problem

Mobility Services, Inc., (Mobility Services) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vehicles equipped with Century-2 and/or Vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

Mobility Services will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on October 15, 2012. Owners may contact Mobility Services, Inc., at 1-718-267-2921.
