Is my product affected?

RICON K-SERIES WHEELCHAIR LIFT; RICON S-SERIES WHEELCHAIR LIFT

  • Brand RICON

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Ricon Corporation is recalling certain S-Series and K-Series Titanium Wheelchair Lifts (models K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S2201, S550, and S551) because the lift positioning input cam may fail during use. When this component fails, the lift platform can rise higher than the vehicle's floor, creating a hazard where a wheelchair user may tip inward toward the vehicle when exiting, potentially causing injury.

To remedy this issue, Ricon will notify affected owners and dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam at no charge. Owners who believe they have an affected wheelchair lift should contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
