Description
Main mobility is recalling 185 model year 2005 through 2009 chevrolet express and gmc savana vans manufactured between april 1, 2005 and june 25, 2009, equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.  These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  403, platform lift installations in 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.

DEFECT #4 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE


Posted on: 2010-05-13
Description
Main mobility is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 conversion vans built on chevrolet express and gmc savana chassis from october 2007 through may 2010 and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts.  Due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's up function, should the up button be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point.

Consequence
When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.

Corrective Action
Main mobility will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge.  A software solution for this safety defect is under investigation.  Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost.  The safety recall began on may 27, 2010.  Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or main mobility at 1-716-759-6811.
