What is wrong
Boulevard is recalling 3 vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations on motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
The fix
Boulevard is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lift free of charge (please see 07e095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
