Fenton Mobility Products is recalling certain 2015-2017 Ford Transit passenger vans equipped with Ricon S & K Titanium Wheelchair Lifts. The wheelchair lift platform can stop above the vehicle floor if the positioning input cam fails, which creates a tipping hazard for wheelchair users exiting the lift. This condition violates federal safety standards for platform lift systems.
To remedy the issue, Fenton will notify owners and install the Ricon Recall Parts Kit RI61396 free of charge. Affected consumers should contact Fenton Mobility customer service at 1-716-484-7014 to arrange for the installation of the recall parts kit.
