What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential fire hazard in a vehicle, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural/electrical defects posing a high risk of harm.
Plain-English summary
Mobility Works (WMK Inc.) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vehicles manufactured between August 2006 and August 2012. The recall affects vehicles equipped with certain Ricon S series and K Series wheelchair lifts that feature an optional armored pendant cable.
The defect involves the positioning of the armored cable, which may not clear the wheelchair lift. If the cable contacts the power lug and lacks a proper nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur, potentially resulting in a fire.
Mobility Works will notify owners, and Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall campaign was expected to begin on July 15, 2013. Owners can contact Mobility Works at 1-877-275-4912 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 for more information.
