Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Farber specialty vehicles (fsv) is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 fsv specialty vehicles manufactured between october 2007 and december 2009 and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. Due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function, should the "up" button be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point.
- Risk
- When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.
- Remedy
- Fsv will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. A software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. The safety recall began on april 20, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1‑818‑267‑3000 or fsv at 1‑614‑863‑6470.

Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Farber speciality vehicles (fsv) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 fsv speacility vehicles manufactured between december 17, 2007 and december 18, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
- Risk
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
- Remedy
- Fsv is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on april 20, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1‑818‑267‑3000 or fsv at 1‑614‑863‑6470.
