2004–2007 Ford E-150 & 2004–2007 Ford E-250 + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Van conversions is recalling 74 my 2004-2007 ford E-150, E-250 E-350 and my 2006 GM Savanna 3500 vans built on ford and GM chassis and 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 in 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.
