2009 FARBER SPECIALTY VEHICLE; 2010 FARBER SPECIALTY VEHICLE; 2008 FARBER SPECIALTY VEHICLE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Farber Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 specialty vehicles manufactured between December 17, 2007 and December 18, 2009 that are equipped with Ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts is designed to prevent operation unless the belt tongue is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. However, it is possible for an operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism, making the belt appear fastened when it is not. If the restraint belt is not properly latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform, potentially injuring the user.
The safety recall began on April 20, 2010. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. Owners should contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or FSV at 1-614-863-6470 to receive the remedy.

FARBER SPECIALITY VEHICLES (FSV) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 FSV SPEACILITY VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN DECEMBER 17, 2007 AND DECEMBER 18, 2009 AND FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
