Company announcement
Max Mobility/Permobil has expanded its recall of SpeedControl Dials for SmartDrive MX2+ Power Assist Devices due to intermittent cable connection concerns.
The recall affects all SpeedControl Dials manufactured and distributed between April 25, 2022, and July 8, 2025.
The design issue may lead to unexpected behavior of the SmartDrive MX2+ motor, including continued drive and involuntary movement.
Two serious injuries involving bone fractures have been reported.
Risk:
If an individual is using a Max Mobility/Permobil SpeedControl Dial to control their SmartDrive MX2+ Power Assist Device and experiences one of the performance concerns identified above, they may experience continued drive and/or involuntary movement. Depending on the scenario, this could lead to minor and/or serious injuries. A minor injury, such as a cut, bruise, scrape, or general soreness, could occur if one of these scenarios occurs at a low overall speed. If a user is travelling at a fast rate of speed and one of these scenarios occurs, there is a potential for serious injury, such as a bone fracture. There is also a potential risk associated with individuals who may be in close proximity to a user of a SpeedControl Dial if one of these performance failure scenarios were to occur, as the wheelchair powered by the SmartDrive MX2+ Power Assist Device could run or bump into another individual and/or roll over their toes or another extremity.
Impacted states: Nationwide
