Ricon Corporation — Wheelchair Lift - Platform Cracking
Ricon Corporation
Hazard
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.
Remedy
Ricon will notify owners, and dealers will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during September 2014. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
