The wheelchair lift on your vehicle is the part that helps you get in and out safely. In some 2005-2007 models, the lift's safety features might not work properly, which could cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lift's safety system fails, it could lower unexpectedly while you're still on it, and you could get hurt.
Free Fix
Your dealer will upgrade the lift's safety features to prevent unintended stowing, and the repair is free. You should contact your dealer to schedule the repair and confirm availability.
