Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Halcore Group, Inc. is recalling certain wheelchair lifts installed in model year 2006-2013 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Ambulance Wheelchair Vans manufactured between January 2, 2006 and March 15, 2013. The affected lifts include certain Ricon Corporation models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510. These lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, which can allow bearings to move out of position and cause the stowed platform to move excessively.
If the platform bearings become displaced, the wheelchair lift platform mounting may fail, potentially causing the lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, posing an injury risk to lift operators. To address this issue, Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and inspect the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. Affected owners should contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or AEV customer service at 1-800-374-9749, referencing recall number 15E-068.
