J’s mobility unlimited, INC., is recalling certain 2005 models of the Ford E-250 vans equipped with a Ricon platform style wheelchair lift. They stated that this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of the 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 user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally. J’s Mobility Unlimited is working with Ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge. Owners may contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or J’s Mobility Unlimited at 1-601-939-2112.
