DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE


Posted on: 2008-11-05
Description
Eclipse is recalling 2 my 2007 ford paratransit and transmaster shuttle vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.  These buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  404, platform lift installation in motor vehicles.  The threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.  

Consequence
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.  

Corrective Action
Eclipse is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095).  Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or eclipse at 1-574-262-1223.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
