What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety defect where a wheelchair lift may operate without a latched restraint, posing a risk of injury to an unsecured occupant. No injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Eldorado National is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Aero Elite, Aerolite, Aerotech, Transtech, and Versa Shuttle motorhomes. These vehicles are equipped with Ricon Public Use Lifts. The recall involves 1,167 units.
The wheelchair lifts were designed with a restraint buckle featuring an interlock that prevents the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. In the recalled motorhomes, this interlock feature may not operate properly, allowing the lift to move even when the buckle is not latched. This defect could cause the wheelchair to move during lift operation, potentially injuring an unsecured occupant.
Eldorado National is working with Ricon to handle the remedy for this campaign. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall was expected to begin during August 2010. Owners may contact Ricon Customer Service at 800-322-2884 or email [email protected] for more information.
