Equipment adaptive/mobilityReported May 12, 2005 · 51 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain handicap accessible vans built on ford e350 chassis with 6.0l diesel engines, accubuilt adds an additional positive lead wire from the dual vehicle batteries to the mobility lift for operating power. The end connections for the added power wire can become corroded which can cause increased heat generation in the wire and can melt the plastic coating and/or the plastic corrugated protective sheathing.
Risk
Heat generation could potentially melt the wire to connector joint and a fire could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy for this campaign. The recall is expected to begin on may 31, 2005. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419‑222‑8608.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.

Filed Aug 23, 2005 · Body · NY

Dt: in june 2005 the owner noticed that vehicle was leaning to the left side. Last week that the wheels were rubbing against the wheel wells on both sides. All tires were rubbing. The owner did not wish to complain about the tires, just about the vehicle. The owner tried to speak with the place he purchased the vehicle, but they won't see him anymore because they claimed these problems were in his head. The vehicle came with a 2000 pound jack, and then the dealership changed it to a different jack with a limit of 1000 pounds. This dealership repaired the tongue jack in april. The owner argued with the dealership, who said that the vehicle was not unbalanced.. The owner called the manufacturer, and was waiting to hear from them. Another manufacturer had to be chosen because there were no listings for sunray.
