NHTSA recall 08V518000
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · Mobility Works (WMK Inc.)
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." The threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
Why it matters: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
The fix: Mobilityworks is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E095).
