Recall 09V-014: 1998, 2005–2006 Ford E-350
ONENESS MOBILITY SERVICES, LLC recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on Jan 14, 2009, covering about 19 vehicles.
The problem
Oneness mobility is recalling 19 my 1998, and 2005-2006 e-350 vans built on ford chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
The risk
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
The fix
Oneness mobility is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (Please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or oneness mobility at 1-818-267-3000.
