NHTSA Campaign 15E092000

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

Issued by Gillig LLC · Reported Nov 19, 2015 · 4 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain Ricon Model S5510 Wheelchair lifts manufactured November 3, 2010, to February 25, 2011 and sold through the Gillig aftermarket parts department. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.

Consequence

If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

Remedy

Gillig will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Note: These wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All lifts that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
