- What is wrong
- MobilityWorks (WMK Inc.) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vans modified by MobilityWorks to be equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
- Risk
- If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
- Remedy
- MobilityWorks will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2015. Owners may contact MobilityWorks customer service at 1‑800‑769‑8267, or Ricon Customer Service at 1‑800‑322‑2884. Note: These vehicles and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.

The vehicles are equipped with certain Ricon S series and K Series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
- Risk

- What is wrong
- Mobility transportation (mts) is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis from september 16, 2008 through april 15, 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
- Mts 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 october 18, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1‑818‑267‑3000 or mts at 1‑734‑453‑6452.

- Mobility transportation (mts) is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis from september 16, 2008 through april 15, 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
- Mts 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.

What 2007 Ford E-150 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Engine stalling at red lights intermittent. No engine light. In town. No power steering almost cause accident. This has happened several times.
While in motion traveling down highway I heard a bang and the engine began to knock and a sound of air was coming from engine and lost horse-power. I found the spark plug blew out of the #3 cylinder. I had to repair, and now the plug has dropped down, may have to spend up to $3,000 to repair/replace aluminum heads.
Van had trouble starting so took it to dealer, thinking it might be plug/injector-related. Shop contact indicated leak in fuel rail, dumping gas onto engine potentially resulting something that could ignite and explode. The 2007 series 150/250/350 with the large 5.4 (?)l v-8 already has a recall for this exact issue. Thought it would be wise to point out same problem with my with the 4.6l v-8. Van has ~43k miles.
This is the first time a hear about an air bag that blows by it self,, on top of it, in the parking lot when there was nobody inside. I asked ford to see if by any chance there's some recalls about that situation and they said no ... Good thing that it didn't happen when the driver was driving...can just imagine the scene... Thank you..
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford e-150. While pulling out of the driveway, the contact noticed a large fuel leakage and a strong fuel odor. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel rail needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v057000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford e-150. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed fluid leaking underneath the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that fluid was leaking from the radiator. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 49,000. Updated 9/4/14
Spark plugs are breaking during replacement. Bad spark plug design, spark plugs cause running issues, if they break- and fall into the cylinder- then it becomes an even more expensive repair. A definite flaw on ford's part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford e-150. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal would become stuck sporadically. The vehicle would lunge forward and the contact had to apply abrupt force to the brakes and shift into neutral in order to stop the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified who offered no other assistance. The failure mileage was 40,400. Updated 05/31/12
The brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal. When I apply the brakes, I often also depress the gas pedal and end up accelerating when I meant to brake. Very dangerous.
