Farber Specialty Vehicles wheelchair lift recalled for unintended movement risk
What this means
The electrical contactor in certain S-Series and K-Series wheelchair platform lifts may fail, causing the lift to continue moving even when controls are activated to stop it. This can result in injury to a person in the wheelchair.
- Contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188 if you own an affected vehicle.
- Do not use the wheelchair lift until it has been inspected and repaired.
- Watch for an owner notification letter expected in October 2026 with repair instructions.
The agency's original wording
Hazard
