2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Ilderton conversion is recalling 3 my 2006 dodge Sprinter 2500 vans 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 system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.

💥 The risk

A lift occupant CAN be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
