    Description

    Permobil Chairman 2K powered wheelchair

    Reason

    One of the wheelchair motors needed a grounding strap to ensure that the motors are at the same voltage potential as the chassis of the wheelchair.

    Action

    Permobil Inc has notified its field representatives of the voluntary recall and these representatives have been provided with lists of each Chairman 2K serial number and the Dealer to which the wheelchair was sold. This list also includes the name of the individual for whom the wheelchair was specified at the time of order from Permobil Inc, where applicable. The Permobil field representatives have been trained to perform the upgrade and have been provided the necessary tools to complete the task. They will also train and supervise the Dealer''s technicians who will effect the upgrade at the Dealer level, as the field representatives will rely upon their Dealer network to complete the upgrades in a timely fashion.
