Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mobility Works is recalling certain 2014-2015 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, and Chevrolet Express 2500 vans equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lift models (S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510) manufactured between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2015. The lifts have a defect where the platform side plates can crack and the folding link arms may have pivot holes that are too large, allowing bearings to move out of position. If this occurs, the lift platform can separate from the lift and fall against the vehicle's lift door, potentially striking the lift operator when the doors are opened.
To remedy the issue, Mobility Works will notify owners and Ricon dealers will perform a free inspection of the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and inspect the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. Owners should contact Mobility Works customer service at 1-800-769-8267, referencing recall number 16E-020.
