Summary: The vehicle operators are not aware that the wheelchair hydraulic system needs to be cycled on a daily basis to insure that the pressure required to hold it in the stowed position has not bled off. If the hydraulic pressure is not sufficient to hold the platform in the stowed position and the vehicle makes a left turn, the lift can move. The movement causes the brake interlock to activate, abruptly stopping the vehicle.
Consequence: If the abrupt stop happens while the vehicle is intraffic, an accident involving following vehicles can occur. Also, passengersin the vehicle can be injured.
Remedy: A decal instructing the operators of the vehicle to cycle the hydraulic lift system daily will be sent to the owners for installation on the engine cover.

Has your Sunline been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Sunline dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
