2015 Vantage Ams Edge II

Defect. Vantage Mobility International, LLC (Vantage) is recalling certain 2014-2017 AMS Edge II vehicles. The fuel pump gasket may deteriorate, allowing fuel to leak. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."

Risk. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Vantage has notified owners, and repair facilities will replace the fuel tank with a redesigned fuel tank, free of charge. The recall began on January 28, 2019. Owners may contact Vantage customer service at 1-800-488-9082.

A 2015 Toyota Sienna wheelchair-accessible conversion van has two open, unremedied safety recalls related to its braking system: a Braun Corporation recall for incorrect tube nut fittings on the rear brake lines that can cause a pressure drop in the braking system, and a Vantage Mobility International recall for rear brake hoses that may be too short. There is no indication either recall has been completed on this vehicle. The vehicle has been operated as a paid passenger-transport service carrying elderly and disabled passengers, including persons with cognitive impairment, to and from medical and rehabilitation facilities. This commercial use places vulnerable passengers at safety risk given the unresolved brake-system recalls. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer, manufacturer, police, or insurance representative to the reporter's knowledge. No warning lamps or other symptoms are reported — this submission is based on the open-recall status visible in the NHTSA VIN lookup. Supporting documentation is available on request.
