- Summary
- Certain buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the interlock switch system in the lift may not detect the presence of a passenger (either wheelchair or standee) on the ricon wheelchair platform lift.
- Consequence
- In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations, it may be possible for the wheelchair to tip backwards onto the platform when the platform was lowered. This could result in injury to the wheelchair's occupant. Also, anyone standing on the platform could lose his or her balance and fall, resulting in injury.
- Remedy
- Daimlerchrysler is working with ricon to repair these wheelchair lifts (please see 06E101). Owners can contact ricon at 800-322-2884 or daimlerchrysler at 1-800-882-8054.

Has your Sprinter 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 Sprinter dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
