Equipment adaptive/mobility

What is wrong: Halcore Group, Inc.

The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Risk: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Remedy: Halcore will notify owners to take the vehicles to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2014. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1‑614‑539‑8181 or Ricon customer service at 1‑800‑322‑2884.
