Supreme Classic American Trolley Recall for Wheelchair Lift Defect

Supreme is recalling 2014-2016 Classic American Trolley vehicles because a wheelchair lift cam may fail, causing the platform to rise too high and increasing injury risk.

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 structural vehicle defect where a mechanical failure could cause a wheelchair user to tip and be injured, but no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Supreme Corporation is recalling certain 2014-2016 Classic American Trolley vehicles equipped with Ricon K-series or S-Series Ricon Wheelchair lifts. The recall involves 20 vehicles.

The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems." If the platform stops above the vehicle floor, a wheelchair user can tip inwards towards the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing the risk of injury.

Supreme will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam free of charge. The recall began May 3, 2019. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
