August 6, 2008NHTSA 08V387000465 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary: Daimler buses is recalling 465 my 2004-2008 sprinter 2500 and 3500 buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Consequence: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Remedy: Daimler buses is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or daimler buses at 1-905-403-7807.

March 13, 2007NHTSA 07V09500029 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

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.
