What was wrong

Defect

Ricon Corporation (Ricon) is recalling certain Baylift Wheelchair Lift, part number RISSBF3XXX-XX. The outer barrier cannot withstand the maximum force when fully deployed. As such, these lifts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."

Risk

If the wheelchair lift's outer barrier cannot withstand the minimum amount of force, it can increase the risk of injury to lift occupants.

Manufacturer remedy

Ricon will add a side barrier support feature to affected wheelchair lifts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 27, 2021. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
