The problem

Braun is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Vision Rear Entry mobility conversion vehicles built on Dodge and Chrysler minivan chassis from December 20, 2012, through March 21, 2013. The track bar mount assemblies were not properly welded during manufacturing. One or more welds are missing from the track bar which could result in separation from the rear axle.

The risk

Braun will notify owners, and Braun dealers will either repair or replace the entire track bar mounting assembly, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2013. Owners may contact Braun customer service center at 1-800-488-0359.
