- What is wrong
- Farber specialty is recalling 32 my 2005-2008 commercial mobile command specialty vehicles built on workhorse, freightliner, chevrolet, ford, utilimaster and winnebago chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.

The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
