Recall 19V271000 — EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
| 4 vehicles affected
Defect: Mobility Specialists, Inc. (Mobility Specialists) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Ford E-150 and Transit vans modified to be equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series wheel chair lifts. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.
Consequence: If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Mobility Specialists, working with Ricon, has notified the owners. Ricon will provide instructions and materials for replacing defective parts. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

PLEASE CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS MORE NEW CARD ARE COMING OUT WITH THESE NEW BRIGHTER ANNOYING UNSAFE LIGHTS, THANK YOU
