Defect
Certain buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the interlock switch system in the lift may not detect the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the ricon wheelchair platform lift.
Safety risk
In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations, it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform when the platform was lowered. This could result in injury to the wheelchair's occupant. Also, anyone standing on the platform could lose his or her balance and fall, resulting in injury.
Remedy
Daimlerchrysler is working with ricon to repair these wheelchair lifts (please see 06e101). Owners can contact ricon at 800-322-2884 or daimlerchrysler at 1-800-882-8054.
