EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY Safety Recalls

Standard NHTSA Filing #14V706000 Plain English
Component

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

Manufacturer
Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply
What Happened
The wheelchair lift in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps people with mobility issues get in and out safely. In some 2006-2014 Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Mercedes-Benz models, the platform side plate of this lift can crack.
Risk if Unfixed
If the platform side plate cracks, the lift platform could separate from the lift and fall out when you open the doors. This could cause injury to the person operating the lift.
Free Fix
Your dealer will install extra support bumpers to prevent the platform from falling, and they'll replace any platform that's already showing signs of cracking - both of these repairs are completely free. You should contact your dealer to confirm repair availability now.

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.
