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 wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the injection molded cam with an aluminum machined cam, free of charge.
