Farber Specialty Recalls Vehicles with Defective Wheelchair Lift Controls

Farber Specialty is recalling certain vehicles equipped with S-Series and K-Series wheelchair platform lifts because a failed electrical contactor may prevent the lift from stopping.

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 risk-of-harm product (wheelchair lift) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Farber Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain Farber vehicles equipped with specific S-Series and K-Series wheelchair platform lifts. The recall affects multiple models, including the Chevrolet 7500XD, M-B Sprinter, Ford Transit, and International MV607 SBA 4X2, among others, spanning model years from 2021 to 2027.

The defect involves an electrical contactor that may fail, which prevents the controls from stopping the lift. If the lift continues to move while occupied, it increases the risk of injury to the user.

Farber Specialty will work with Ricon to correct the wiring by installing two diodes at no charge to the owner. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on October 1, 2026. Owners may contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188 for more information.
