Recall 09V-250: 2005 Ford E-250
J'S MOBILITY UNLIMITED, INC. recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on Jul 1, 2009, covering about 1 vehicles.
The problem
J's mobility unlimited, inc., is recalling one model year 2005 ford e-250 van equipped with a ricon platform style wheelchair lift. This vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in 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
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
