Recall 10V148 affects 843 2008-2010 Braun Town And Country, Town & Country, and Caravan vehicles for fuel-fill-pipe tire contact. Repair is free through Braun.
Braun is recalling 843 2008-2010 Town & Country and Caravan commercial Entervan conversions because the fuel fill pipe sits too close to the left rear tire after the accessibility conversion. Tire contact can wear through the pipe or tire over time, causing tire pressure loss, loss of vehicle control, or fire; the Braun dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The fuel fill pipe on these 2008-2010 Braun Town & Country, Town And Country, and Caravan commercial Entervan vehicles carries gasoline from the fuel door into the tank. It is part of the filler neck assembly, and it needs clear space around it so the left rear tire can move without touching it.
During the wheelchair-accessible conversion, Braun raised the chassis and lowered the floor. That change brought the fuel fill pipe closer to the left rear tire. In rough or aggressive driving, the tire can contact the pipe. Repeated contact can damage the filler pipe and leave the fuel system less protected than designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not count on a dashboard light, noise, or visible leak before the tire contacts the fuel fill pipe.
Who's affected?
Spans the Town And Country, Town & Country, and Caravan names across the 2008, 2009, and 2010 model years, all tied to the fuel-filler pipe and cap.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
What's the safety risk?
Contact between the tire and fuel fill pipe can wear a hole in the tire or pipe. Tire pressure loss can lead to loss of vehicle control, and a damaged fuel pipe can lead to a vehicle fire. Schedule the repair soon, and ask the dealer whether the vehicle is safe to move if you suspect tire or fuel pipe damage. Repair will be free at any franchised Braun dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2010 Braun Town And Country, Town & Country, or Caravan is included in this recall.
- Contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359 to ask about the free repair path for recall number 10V148.
- Schedule the fuel-fill-pipe clearance repair that stops the rear tire from rubbing the fuel fill pipe.
- Bring the recall notice if Braun mailed one, and reference recall number 10V148 when you call.
- Avoid rough or aggressive driving until the repair is complete because tire contact with the fuel fill pipe can lead to tire pressure loss or fuel leakage.
