Defect SummaryRicon is recalling certain s series, k series, and f9 series wheelchair lifts sold as original equipment for use on various speciality vehicles and sold through aftermarket sales. the lift is equipped with a restraint belt that has an interlock feature designed to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. however, if the buckle is not fully latched in the affected vehicles, the lift can operate.
Consequence SummaryIf the buckle is not fully latched, the lift can operate and a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against movement, possibly resulting in injury to the wheelchair occupant.
Corrective SummaryEach vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. all affected lifts will receive instructional and warning labels free of charge. ricon will notify owners who purchased the affected lifts as aftermarket or replacement equipment. the recall began on february 1, 2010. owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

 The office of defects investigation has received one fleet complaint identifying 33 alleged failures on the subject wheelchair lifts. the alleged failures have occurred on school buses in two alaskan school districts.these allegations describe cracks developing on the lifts' vertical support arms at a pinned joint where a horizontal arm interfaces with the vertical arm.the lifts are used to raise wheelchairs from the street level to allow entry into the school bus.these bent arms may cause three possible safety concerns.first, the bent arms may prevent an inboard bridge from laying flat and thus prevent a wheel chair from loading the lift in an emergency.second, bent arms may cause the anti-stow interlock switch to become out of adjustment possibly allowing the lift to start moving to the stowed position while a chair is still on the platform.third, the bent arms may also create a situation where the requirements of fmvss 403 - s6.10.2.3 are no longer met.ricon feels that the bent arms are not a safety concern because the operator will see that the lift is damaged before a passenger is loaded onto the bus.if the driver sees that the lift is damaged, they should not load a passenger that would then need to be unloaded in an emergency.this pe has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea) to determine what causes the arms to fail, if the arms can fail while the lift is in a stowed position, and if a passenger can be loaded while the lift is in a failed condition.
