Summary derived from NHTSA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by NHTSA
Ricon Corporation (Ricon) is recalling certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured August 26, 2014, to July 1, 2015. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Reported concern (NHTSA)
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.
Recommended Action
Per NHTSA guidance
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.
