2005–2006 Sprinter 2500 & 2006 Sprinter 3500 recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the interlock switch system in the lift may not detect the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the ricon wheelchair platform lift.

💥 The risk

In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations, it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform when the platform was lowered. This could result in injury to the wheelchair's occupant. Also, anyone standing on the platform could lose his or her balance and fall, resulting in injury.

🔧 The fix

Daimlerchrysler is working with ricon to repair these wheelchair lifts (please see 06E101). Owners CAN contact ricon at 800-322-2884 or daimlerchrysler at 1-800-882-8054.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
