Defect Description
Ricon Corporation is recalling certain S series and K series wheelchair lifts manufactured January 1, 2013, through January 4, 2014, and equipped with an optional armored pendant cable. The affected model numbers start with S2003, S2005, S2010, S5505, S5510, K2010, K5505, or K5510 and all of the model numbers end with a 'B' to denote being equipped with an armored pendant cord. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Consequence / Hazard
If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Proposed Solution
Ricon will notify the affected vehicles manufacturers, and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2014. Owners may contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000. This recall is an expansion of 13E-001.
