NHTSA recall 09V049000
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · Mobility Specialists, 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 on 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: Mobility is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E095).
