## What is wrong

Braun Corporation \(Braun\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 Chevrolet Traverse wheelchair accessible vehicles with Power In\-floor Ramp conversion.  The screw and clip that hold the inner wheel\-well plastic shroud in place may chafe against the transmission case, possibly resulting in a transmission fluid leak.


## What can happen

A transmission fluid leak can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.  In addition, a leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the screw and clip, and inspect for signs of contact with the transmission, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed November 29, 2021.  Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1\-800\-488\-0359.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
