These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles."

Why it matters: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
The fix: Mobilityworks is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E097).
