Recalls for 2008 Ford E250

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE

Posted on: 2014-10-10
Description
Mobility works (wmk inc.) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 ford e150, e250, and e350 vans modified by mobility works to be equipped with certain model s2005, s2010, s5005, s5010, s5505, and s5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by ricon corporation.  The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

Consequence
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door.  When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

Corrective Action
Mobility works will notify owners, and ricon will supply supplemental platform support bumpers.  Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on november 10, 2014.  Owners may contact mobility works customer service at 1-800-769-8267 or ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
