- Component:
- Equipment adaptive
- Manufactured:
- 07/17/2005 - 07/05/2006
- Affected:

- Correction:
- Glaval is working with braun corporation to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06e094). owners may contact braun corporation at 1-800-946-7513 or glaval at 1-574-262-2212.

- Defect:
