What NHTSA recorded

On certain handicap accessible vans built on ford e350 chassis with 6.0l diesel engines, accubuilt adds an additional positive lead wire from the dual vehicle batteries to the mobility lift for operating power. The end connections for the added power wire can become corroded which can cause increased heat generation in the wire and can melt the plastic coating and/or the plastic corrugated protective sheathing.

Possible consequence

Heat generation could potentially melt the wire to connector joint and a fire could occur without prior warning.

Remedy

The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy for this campaign. The recall is expected to begin on may 31, 2005. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419-222-8608.
