Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vans from model years 2006-2014 that were modified by MobilityWorks and equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lift models are affected by this recall. The wheelchair lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be oversized, which can cause bearings to shift out of position. If bearings become displaced, the stowed platform may move excessively and fail at its mounting points, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, posing an injury risk to the lift operator.
MobilityWorks will notify owners of the recall, which began on December 15, 2015. Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and the platform for cracks, replacing any damaged parts at no cost. Owners should contact MobilityWorks customer service at 1-800-769-8267 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Vehicles that received a similar recall remedy in 2014 are still affected by this recall and should also have the inspection and remedy performed.
