Ricon S-Series and K-Series wheelchair lifts recalled for uncontrolled movement risk
What this means
Ricon S-Series and K-Series wheelchair platform lifts may have a faulty electrical contactor that prevents the controls from stopping the lift. This means a lift could continue moving while someone is on it, creating an injury risk.
- Contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 if you own one of these lifts.
- Dealers will install two diodes to fix the wiring at no charge.
- Check your mail for an owner notification letter sent June 29, 2026.
