Summary
On certain handicap accessible vans built on Ford E350 chassis with 6.0L diesel engines, accubuilt adds an additional positive lead wire from the dual vehicle batteries to the mobility lift for operating power. The end connections for the added power wire can become corroded which can cause increased heat generation in the wire and can melt the plastic coating and/or the plastic corrugated protective sheathing.
Consequence
Heat generation could potentially melt the wire to connector joint and a fire could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy for this campaign. The recall is expected to begin on may 31, 2005. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419-222-8608.
Notes
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Accubuilt been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Accubuilt dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
