EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

Manufacturer
Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply
What Happened
The wheelchair lift in your vehicle has a crucial part called the platform side plate, which helps keep the lift stable. Over time, this plate can crack and break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the platform side plate cracks, the lift platform could fall out when you open the door, putting you at risk of getting hurt.
Free Fix
Your dealer will install a reinforcing bumper to prevent the platform from falling out, and if the platform has already started cracking, they'll replace it entirely — all at no cost to you. Contact your dealer to confirm repair availability and schedule the fix.

Original — What Happened
Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply (Cummings) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, Chevrolet Express, 2006-2008 Dodge Sprinter, and 2009-2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and 2013 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, to October 8, 2014, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
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.
Original — Remedy
Cummings will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 13, 2015. Owners may contact Cumming's customer service at 1-800-639-5438 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Cumming's number for this recall is 14E-041.
