2005–2006 Century MSM3200 & 2005 Century MSM2800 + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Century is recalling 6 my 2005-2006 MSM3200, my 2005 MSM2800, MSM3600 and my 2006 ford vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations on motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
💥 The risk
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
🔧 The fix
Century is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or century at 812-246-3371.
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.)
