Safety Consequence
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.
Remedy
Turtle Top will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2012. Owners may contact Turtle Top at 574-831-4340.
