Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Equipment Adaptive/Mobility Vehicle recall #14V706000 · 2014 · 34 vehicles

What's wrong: The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts May crack.

Why it matters: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform May fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

The fix: Cummings will notify owners to take buses to a ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 13, 2015.
