Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Action: comm-trans 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 began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

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 electrical short may cause an abs malfunction that would illuminate the abs warning light, or the module may overheat resulting in a burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. this condition may occur while the vehicle is being driven or unattended.
Action: dealers will install a new fuse in the abs circuit and install a heat shield over the abs module. the recall began on october 15, 2004. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also ford is extending the limited warranty (for a one time replacement) of the abs module for a total of 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. if your vehicle has already accumulated more than 150,000 miles, this coverage will last until september 30, 2005.

Consequence: these hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Action: dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. the recall began september 27, 2004. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also ford is extending the limited warranty (for a one time replacement) of the abs module for a total of 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. if your vehicle has already accumulated more than 150,000 miles, this coverage will last until september 30, 2005.

Consequence: in the event of a crash or other circumstances of severe loading, the worm gear could fracture and allow the seat to shift unrestrained forward or backward increasing the risk and/or severity of injuries to the driver.
Action: dealers will inspect the driver's seat track assembly, and if necessary, replace it free of charge. the safety recall began on may 4, 2011. owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.

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.

Consequence: the electrical short may cause an abs malfunction that would illuminate the abs warning light, or the module may overheat resulting in a burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. this condition may occur while the vehicle is being driven or unattended.
Action: dealers will install a new fuse in the abs circuit and install a heat shield over the abs module. the recall began on october 15, 2004. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also ford is extending the limited warranty (for a one time replacement) of the abs module for a total of 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. if your vehicle has already accumulated more than 150,000 miles, this coverage will last until september 30, 2005.

Consequence: these hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Action: dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. the recall began september 27, 2004. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also ford is extending the limited warranty (for a one time replacement) of the abs module for a total of 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. if your vehicle has already accumulated more than 150,000 miles, this coverage will last until september 30, 2005.

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: 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.

http://www.ikonauto.com - posted on Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:08:43 EST by Ikon Auto ]]> http://www.ikonauto.com/recalls/ford_recalls.htm Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:08:43 EST Automobile Recalls country:usa Defect: mobility transportation (mts) is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis from september 16, 2008 through april 15, 2009 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.
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 began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.
