Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mobility Specialists is recalling certain 2006-2014 Ford E-250 and E-350 vehicles equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lift models (S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510). The wheelchair lift platforms in these vehicles may develop cracks in the side plates, and the folding link arms may have pivot holes that are too large, allowing bearings to shift out of position. These defects can cause the lift platform to separate from the lift mechanism or fail when mounted, potentially resulting in the platform falling out when vehicle doors are opened and creating a risk of injury to the lift operator.
To address the recall that began November 13, 2015, Mobility Specialists will notify owners to bring their vehicles to a Ricon dealer or service center, where technicians will install supplemental platform support bumpers at no charge. Any platform showing signs of cracking will be replaced for free. Affected owners should contact Mobility Specialists customer service at 1-877-777-5438 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator. Additionally, if the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Mobility Specialists will notify owners to take their vehicles to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2015. Owners may contact Mobility Specialists customer service at 1-877-777-5438, or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
