What's wrong?
The wheelchair lift on the 2020 Winnebago Commercial Vehicle uses a platform, an outer barrier, hydraulic cylinders, and flow-control valves to move a wheelchair user between the ground and the vehicle floor. The cylinder flow control valve meters hydraulic fluid, which helps the lift move at a controlled speed. The ground-sensing pressure switch tells the lift when the platform is at the ground so the outer barrier can operate at the right time.
On the affected lift, the pressure switch was placed after the cylinder flow control valves instead of before the cylinder flow valve. That placement changes how the lift senses hydraulic pressure during operation. As a result, the outer barrier can deploy unexpectedly instead of staying in its intended position until the lift sequence calls for it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a separate symptom before the barrier deploys unexpectedly.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician relocates the ground sensing pressure switch for the BraunAbility wheelchair lift so the outer barrier does not deploy unexpectedly from the switch location. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid out of pocket for this pressure-switch repair before the recall notice, the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Ask Winnebago customer service or the service desk what paperwork they need for a reimbursement request.
