Details

What's wrong: The vehicles are equipped with certain ricon s series and k series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

Why it matters: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and, if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

The fix: Mobility works will notify owners and ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. This recall campaign is expected to begin July 15, 2013.
