Recall 15V018000
EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Defect Description
Frontline Communications (Frontline) is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Mobile Medical Unit vehicles manufactured from December 13, 2007, to February 17, 2011, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Safety Consequence
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to 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.
Remedy
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.
