NHTSA recall 14V586000
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Winnebago industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling one model year 2008 aspect wf726a coach, one model year 2010 vista wfe32k coach and one model year 2012 vista wfe36d coach. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain model s2005, s2010, s5005, s5010, s5505, or s5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by ricon corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Why it matters: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
The fix: Winnebago will notify owners to take the coaches to a ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014.
