What’s wrong with it?
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle’s lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
