Waupaca Elevator is recalling Custom Lift 450# and Custom Lift 500# residential elevators that were shipped and installed between 1979 and 2008. The elevator cab in these models can fall unexpectedly to the bottom of the shaft and stop abruptly, which poses an injury hazard to anyone inside the cab at the time. The recalled Custom Lift 450# elevators have serial numbers 10-1001 through 10-3131, while the Custom Lift 500# elevators have serial numbers 10-3132 through 10-8111; 010-00-8112 through 010-10-8786; and 110-00-1000 through 110-03-1179. The serial number can be found on the front or bottom of the controller box or on the base of the powerhead, which may be located in the attic, closet, machine room, crawl space, garage, or bottom of the hoistway.
Consumers who own a recalled elevator should immediately stop using it and contact Waupaca Elevator to schedule a free gearbox inspection and free installation of an overspeed braking device. If the inspection reveals that the gearbox gears have worn down, Waupaca Elevator will provide and install a replacement gearbox at no cost.
