Consumer Description

I AM A ALASKA STATE SCHOOL BUS INSPECTOR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY REPORTS ON THE RICON LIFTS MODELS SS5510 UPRIGHT ARMS BENDING AND OR CRACKING. DURING OUR INSPECTIONS IN THE FALL OF 07 AND NOW OUR INSPECTIONS SO FAR IN 08 , WE ARE FINDING A OVER WHELMING AMOUNT OF THESE ARMS BENT AND OR CRACKED. THEY ARE BEING REPLACED AT NO COST BY RICON, HOWEVER, IF ONE OF THESE ISSUES IS NOT NOTICED IN TIME DURING OPERATION THE ARM COULD BRAKE INTO, DUMPING THE OCCUPANT ONTO THE GROUND OR PAVEMENT. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED IN OUR STATE AS FAR AS I KNOW YET. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ARMS WITH THE SAME ONES ISSUED WITH THE UNITS WHEN NEW. THEY (RICON) SAY IT IS JUST BEING REPORTED WITHIN OUR STATE. MAYBE IT IS A DEMOGRAPHIC ISSUE, NEVER THE LESS , SHOULD THEY (RICON) NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM?. PLEASE HELP ME. DANNY *TR
