What NHTSA recorded

Quality van sales is recalling 18 my 2005-2007 ford e-250, my 2006 ford e-350 and chevrolet express vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for 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.

A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
