Plain-English summary

Dodgen Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Dodgen Mobile Tech. Mobility RVs manufactured between January 1, 2006, and November 24, 2014. The recall affects vehicles equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts, including models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510.

The defect involves the platform side plate of the wheelchair lift, which may crack. If the side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

Dodgen will notify owners to take their RVs to a Ricon dealer or service center to install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2015. Owners may contact Dodgen customer service at 1-515-332-3755 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
