| Description |
WMK Inc., d/b/a MobilityWorks, is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Ford E-Series 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. |

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. |
| Corrective action |
MobilityWorks will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized Braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on October 19, 2012. Owners may contact MobilityWorks at 1-800-769-8267. |
