Ricon Corporation — Wheel Chair Lift Platform Cracking/Big Pivot Holes
Ricon Corporation
Hazard
If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy
Ricon will notify the purchasers of the lifts, and their dealers will inspect the side plates for damage and for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
