2012 Braunability Dodge Wheelchair Van recalls

Recall 18V-489: Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jul 20, 2018 · 31,303 vehicles affected · Braun Corporation

Problem: On July 20, 2018 Braun Corporation (Braun) filed a recall for certain 2017-2018 BraunAbility Dodge Side Entry Vans with a manual in-floor wheelchair ramp built on Dodge RT minivan chassis. The brake lines may not be connected to the corresponding ports on the hydraulic control unit, causing reduced performance of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems," and 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems." On August 21, 2018, Braun expanded this recall to include an additional 31,165 vehicles. Included in this update are 2012-2016 BraunAbility Dodge Side Entry Vans and 2012-2018 Chrysler Town and Country Side Entry Vans.

Risk: A reduction of ESC function can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Braun will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the right rear brake line to the left wheel, and install a brake line extension to reroute the left rear brake line to the right rear wheel. This repair will be completed free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2018. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

Tried to set up appointment with mobility works, my local braunability representative when I was told the they couldn't set up an appointment for time and parts. So I called braunability they in turn told me not to call back, they would schedule and notify me. Now that almost a year has passed I receive a " second notice" encouraging me to schedule the recall that they would not schedule last year
