internal potentiometer wiper could become disconnected due to
extensive wear. If this were to occur the device could continue
to drive forward at a slow speed of approximately 2-4 mph and
the only way to stop the device would be by turning off the main
key switch. The number of scooters affected is 69; no injuries
have been reported to date.

telephone and/or email and is arranging for correction of all
recalled Breeze C Scooters.
