- Summary
- Farber speciality vehicles (fsv) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 fsv speacility vehicles manufactured between December 17, 2007 and December 18, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
- Consequence
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
- Remedy
- Fsv is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09E-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on April 20, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or fsv at 1-614-863-6470.

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