What is wrong
J's mobility unlimited, inc., is recalling one model year 2005 ford e-250 van equipped with a ricon platform style wheelchair lift. This vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in 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
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
The fix
J's mobility unlimited is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-[removed] or j's mobility unlimited at 1-[removed].
