17V616000 · Seats | Air Bags:Frontal
Reported: 2017-10-03 (October 3, 2017) · Model years: 2016
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain model year 2016 BraunAbility MXV wheelchair accessible conversion vehicles built on Ford Explorer chassis. If the driver or front passenger seat is moved to its most rearward position, the seat position sensor may be dislodged, preventing the air bag control unit from accurately calculating the frontal air bag deployment force needed in the event of a crash.
Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the frontal air bag does not deploy with the proper force, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Braun will notify owners, and dealers will modify the seat base pedestals to provide the necessary clearance for the seat position sensor, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2017. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
NHTSA campaign record ↗19V546000 · Electrical System:Wiring
Reported: 2019-07-24 (July 24, 2019) · Model years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Ford Explorer BraunAbility MXV wheelchair accessible conversion vehicles. The switch-activated electric solenoid used to release the rear seat base latches from the floor-mounted strikers may unintentionally switch and stay on. In this case, the wires may overheat, causing the wiring insulation to melt, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit.
Consequence: An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Braun has notified owners, and dealers will add timer components to the solenoid circuits, free of charge. The recall began August 7, 2019. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
