What’s wrong with it?
IF THE BUCKLE IS NOT FULLY LATCHED, THE LIFT CAN OPERATE AND A WHEELCHAIR MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED AGAINST MOVEMENT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY TO THE WHEELCHAIR OCCUPANT.
RICON IS RECALLING CERTAIN S SERIES, K SERIES, AND F9 SERIES WHEELCHAIR LIFTS SOLD AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON VARIOUS SPECIALITY VEHICLES AND SOLD THROUGH AFTERMARKET SALES.
THE LIFT IS EQUIPPED WITH A RESTRAINT BELT THAT HAS AN INTERLOCK FEATURE DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM OPERATING IF THE BUCKLE IS NOT LATCHED.
HOWEVER, IF THE BUCKLE IS NOT FULLY LATCHED IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE LIFT CAN OPERATE.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
