Recall 13V106 covers 62 2008-2013 Braun Vision Rear Entry vehicles for missing track-bar welds. Repair is free at any franchised Braun dealer.
Braun recalled 62 2008-2013 Vision Rear Entry mobility conversion vehicles because missing welds on the track bar mount assemblies can let the track bar separate from the rear axle. If that happens, the bar can drag the ground and unexpectedly alter vehicle control, increasing crash risk; the Braun dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The track bar is part of the rear suspension on 2008-2013 Braun Vision Rear Entry mobility conversion vehicles. Its job is to keep the rear axle centered under the vehicle while the suspension moves over bumps and during turns. The track bar mount assembly holds that bar in place, and the welds are what secure the mount to the axle area.
On affected vehicles, the track bar mount assemblies were not welded correctly during manufacturing. One or more welds are missing, so the mount does not have the attachment strength it was designed to have. Under normal suspension loads, the track bar can separate from the rear axle.
Braun did not identify a symptom an owner would notice first. There is no warning sign before failure.

What happens at the repair
Braun's remedy calls for owner notification and a free dealer repair once the remedy is available for the VIN. At the dealer, a Braun technician checks the track bar mounting assembly and either repairs the mounting assembly or replaces the entire assembly. The work focuses on the rear axle track bar mount, where missing welds led to the recall. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. The source filing does not give a repair time, so ask the service desk what to expect before the visit.
