There is an observed failure of the backrest bracket which can fatigue over the life time of the product. When this occurs there is the possibility of the bracket fracturing causing the backrest to detach from the chair frame.
The firm began calling dealers to alert them to the recall and obtain primary contacts information. Dealers were then sent their list of Quickie Q7 wheelchairs that records show being sold by them and dealers are asked to return a list of chairs they are able to locate for correction. The first dealer letter was sent via e-mail on July 7, 2016.
