What is wrong
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain model year 2016 MXV vehicles manufactured February 8, 2016, to June 23, 2016 and built on a Ford Explorer chassis. The passenger seat electrical harness may be incorrectly routed and can be crushed between the seat structure and the seat riser manufactured as part of the wheelchair accessible conversion.
What can happen
The crushed seat harness may prevent correct passenger air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Braun will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat wiring harness routing. Improperly routed and/or damaged harnesses will be replaced and correctly routed as required, free of charge. The recall began on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
