Posted on: 2006-05-22
Description
On certain vans built on ford e250/350 chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts, the vertical support arms were improperly welded.
Consequence
During passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the buses or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.
Corrective Action
Ricon is conducting this recall (please see 06e008000) and will replace the two vertical arms even if only one arm is cracked free of charge. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419-222-8608 or ricon at
