What happened

Turtle Top is recalling certain 2006-2014 Odyssey, 2008-2009 and 2011 Odyssey LT, 2007-2008 and 2010-2012 Odyssey XL, 2008 and 2012 Terra Transport, and 2007-2008 and 2013 Van Terra vehicles equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts (models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510). These lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, allowing bearings to shift out of position. If this occurs, the stowed platform may move excessively and the mounting could fail, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened.

To address this hazard, 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 Turtle Top customer service at 1-574-831-4340 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 to arrange an inspection.

Hazard

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.

What should I do?

Turtle Top will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on March 21, 2016. Owners may contact Turtle Top customer service at 1-574-831-4340, or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
