Description

Jazzy Select 6 with XLR Port Harness

Reason

Improper set-up of the wire harness can allow wires to be pulled from their intended position and become caught under the motor mounting bracket located under the powered wheelchair. This can cause the wire connector and/or the wire itself to be pulled or pinched which can lead to a short or open circuit.

Action

The recalling firm issued recall notifications with response cards to their dealers. Included with the notification was fasteners and an example letter for customer notification of the problem. Dealers were instructed to contact the end users to make arrangements with the customer/end user to verify that the devices were properly set up. If the dealers' inspection revealed that additional fasteners were required they dealer would install them. The recalling firm also issued a recall letter to consumers. The consumer recall letter included instructions that if the correction was completed by anyone other than the wheelchair provider, then the consumer should schedule an appointment with the wheelchair provider to ensure the correction was completed properly.

Distribution

The product was shipped to dealers nationwide who further shipped the product to end users. The product was also shipped to distributors in Canada, Australia and United Kingdom
