2007 Oshkosh SV Double Expandable Trailer recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Oshkosh specialty vehicles is recalling 1 my 2007 Double Expandable Trailer equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.
