2005 Turtle Top GM Terra Transport recalls, newest first

December 2, 2008NHTSA 08V633000121 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary: Turtle top is recalling 121 my 2005-2007 Ford odyssey, my 2005 Ford terra transit, my 2005-2006 Ford van terra, my 2006-2007 GM odyssey, my 2005-2006 GM odyssey xl, and my 2005-2006 GM terra transport 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 system accessible 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: Turtle top is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or turtle top at 1-574-831-4340.
