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 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.
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.
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.
