Recall 06V-177: 2006 Accubuilt Van
ACCUBUILT, INC. recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on May 22, 2006, covering about 24 vehicles.
The problem
On certain vans built on ford e250/350 chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts, the vertical support arms were improperly welded.
The risk
During passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the buses or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.
The fix
Ricon is conducting this recall (Please see 06e008000) and will replace the two vertical arms even if only one arm is cracked free of charge. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419-222-8608 or ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
