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.

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.

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.
Action: comm-trans 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 july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

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.
Action: comm-trans 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 july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

Consequence: in certain types of very severe crashes, the fuel tank may be damaged and result in a leak. a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Action: dealers will inspect for proper fuel tank protection bracket installation and install brackets free of charge. the recall began on june 26, 2009. owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332 or through the internet at www.ownerconnection.com.

Consequence: cracks in the slip yoke would progress over time and the slip yoke could fracture without warning while the vehicle is being driven allowing the drive shaft to separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Action: dealers will have the drive shaft inspected for manufacturing date and replace it free of charge. the recall began on april 14, 2008. owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Action: mts is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall is expected to begin during july 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Action: mts is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall is expected to begin during july 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

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.
Action: mts 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 is expected to begin during july 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Action: mobility works is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall is expected to begin during june 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mobility works at 1-800-769-8267.
