Equipment

Reported Jan 14, 2013 · Ricon Corporation

Summary

Ricon is recalling certain S series and K Series wheelchair lifts manufactured after August 1, 2006, and equipped with an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.

Consequence

The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.

Remedy

Ricon will notify the affected vehicles manufacturers and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. This recall campaign began during February 2013. Owners may contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000. Note: This recall supersedes recall 12E-038.
