What NHTSA recorded

Drive master is recalling 1 van equipped with a ricon platform style wheelchair lift. The lift fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible 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.

Possible consequence

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

Remedy

Drive master is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
