The issue
On certain vehicles, the Ricon wheelchair lift located in baggage bay #2 could become disengaged from a locked position and slide freely. As a secondary mode of failure, if the wheelchair lift is deployed manually, when the unit is placed back in storage, the drive mechanism may not re-engage properly, allowing the unit to move freely. An unrestrained wheelchair lift may break through the compartment door and extend beyond the outside of the vehicle while in motion, causing potential injury to persons and or damage to other vehicles or property. Correction: The manufacturer/Dealers will install a Ricon-designed retrofit kit.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le dispositif élévateur de fauteuil roulant Ricon, dans le compartiment à bagages numéro 2, pourrait se dégager de son système de verrouillage et glisser. Par ailleurs, lorsque le dispositif est replacé manuellement dans le compartiment à bagages, le mécanisme d’entraînement pourrait également ne pas s’enclencher adéquatement et ainsi permettre au dispositif de se déplacer librement, de défoncer la porte du compartiment, de se déployer à l’extérieur des véhicules pendant qu’ils roulent et de causer des dommages matériels ou des blessures. Mesure corrective : Le fabricant et les concessionnaires devront installer un dispositif de rattrapage conçu par Ricon.
