  • Reason
    Stryker medical has determined that the brake rod assemblies of the above referenced stretcher models that are built with a "5th wheel" series stretcher base were manufactured with roll pins that did not meet the material specifications. accordingly some roll pins may have fractured during the assembly process and could fall out of the brake rod assemblies rendering the brake or steer systems inoperable from certain pedals or causing a reduction in overall brake holding force.
