2008 FORD E-250; 2013 FORD E-250; 2014 FORD E-250
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain 2008, 2013, and 2014 Ford E-250 vehicles equipped with Ricon Wheelchair lifts are being recalled because the wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail during use. When this happens, the lift platform can stop at a height above the vehicle floor, which creates a tipping hazard for wheelchair users as they exit the lift. This defect violates federal safety standards for platform lift systems.
Owners of affected vehicles have been notified of the recall, which began on March 18, 2019. Ricon dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam at no charge. Consumers can contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or New England customer service at 1-978-663-9724 to arrange the repair.
