On certain vehicles equipped with wheelchair barriers, in the event of a frontal crash at more than 20 mph, the wheelchair barrier attaching bolts which are tapped into the floor structure could strip, allowing movement of the wheelchair barrier. This could result in injuries, or death of the disabled person or other passengers. Correction: Wheelchair barrier mounting bolts with the required nuts and washers will be installed on affected vehicles.
