Braun Corporation: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Braun Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Jul 26, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 139. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain model year 2016 MXV vehicles manufactured February 8, 2016, to June 23, 2016 and built on a Ford Explorer chassis. The passenger seat electrical harness may be incorrectly routed and can be crushed between the seat structure and the seat riser manufactured as part of the wheelchair accessible conversion.
The risk
The crushed seat harness may prevent correct passenger air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.
The remedy
Braun will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat wiring harness routing. Improperly routed and/or damaged harnesses will be replaced and correctly routed as required, free of charge. The recall began on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V555000.
