NHTSA recall 08V569000
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." The anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary…
Why it matters: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
The fix: Cummings is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E097).
