| Defect Summary | Comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's up function, should the up button be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Comm-trans will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall is expected to begin during june 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | This recall only pertains to vehicles altered by comm-trans and has no relation to any vehicles manufactured by ford motor company.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov . | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Comm-trans is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall is expected to begin during june 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394. | |||||||||||||||

| On approximately 8/25/2010, while driving on the highway the vehicle suddenly shut down electrically. it couldn't be started by aaa. it was towed to a local repair shop and they found a burned wire that went from the fuse box to a junction box. he told me that this is an engeneering defect in the vehicle as the wire is too close to the brakes and when it gets hot the wire burns out. he also said that the vehicle can eventually go on fire. it was repaired and then on 9/25/2011 the same thing occured. i had the vehicle towed to american ford on rt 17 south in paramus new jersey. they found again a burned wire from the fuse box. i asked them not to repair the vehicle until someone from the national safety board investigates this vehicle. | |||

| (defective lock/handle) this incident occured when the dock was in a lock position and a passenger try to open the door. something snapped. then the door was unable to open even after the door is unlocked. after my friend did me a favor to fix it, the same thing happened on the passenger door. the door was locked then my coworker tried to open the door before i unlocked it from the car alarm, then a component on the handle snapped. so now i have to open the door from the back or side door. | |||
