Plain-English summary
Frontline Communications is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Mobile Medical Unit vehicles manufactured between December 13, 2007, and February 17, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts (models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510). The recall involves 9 affected vehicles.
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.
Frontline will notify owners to contact Ricon Customer Service to arrange for the installation of supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on February 25, 2015. Owners may contact Frontline customer service at 1-727-573-0400 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
