Recall 08V-387: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Daimler buses is recalling 465 my 2004-2008 sprinter 2500 and 3500 buses 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 systems 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.
Risk: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Fix: Daimler buses is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (Please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or daimler buses at 1-905-403-7807.
