Description

Reason

Rear bolts holding the frame in place may shear and the front bolts may potentially come off the posts, resulting in partial or full seat detachment in a sudden stop or crash.

Action

Initial phone contacts began on November 13, 2006. Letters were also mailed. The letter informed the customer of the problem and provided interim steps to take, until an transit upgrade kit is installed. Response cards will be tracked to measure response rate and assure receipt of notice. Contact Sunrise Medical at 1-800-456-8168 for assistance.
