What is wrong
Century is recalling 6 my 2005-2006 msm3200, my 2005 msm2800, msm3600 and my 2006 ford van equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
The risk
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
The fix
Comm trans is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-[removed] or comm trans at [removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-[removed] (tty 1-[removed]), or go to <a href=[link removed] .
