Your wheelchair lift is a crucial system that helps you enter and exit your van safely. In certain 2005-2009 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, the lift might not detect when someone is still on it, which could cause it to move unexpectedly.

If the lift stows with you still on it, you could get injured, which could be serious or even life-threatening.

Your dealer will replace the wheelchair lift with a revised one that works correctly and safely, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
