Aev Recall 14V767000: Equipment Adaptive/mobility

NHTSA recall 14V767000 · announced December 2, 2014 · filed by Halcore Group, Inc. · 9 units affected

The problem

Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Ambulance Wheelchair Vans manufactured March 1, 2006, to March 31, 2013, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

The risk

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.

What to do

Halcore will notify owners to take their vans 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 on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact American Emergency Vehicles at 1-800-374-9749 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
