Braun Corporation recall 13V-106 covers 62 2008–2013 Braun Vision Rear Entry for a suspension: rear problem, reported to NHTSA on March 25, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V106000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
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
If the track bar separates from the rear axle, the track bar may drag the ground and unexpectedly alter the control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
