AS REPORTED TO DEALER : CUSTOMER STATES WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR AND LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR IT WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE RPM UNTIL YOU HIT HARD ON THE BRAKES.

Apr 3, 2019

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 & remedy

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.
