The short version

Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the equipment adaptive/mobility. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

WHAT TO DO

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings, free of charge.
