- Campaign:
- 09V027000 on 01/25/2009
- Component:
- Equipment adaptive
- Affected:
- 6
- Defect:
- Century is recalling 6 my 2005-2006 msm3200, my 2005 msm2800, msm3600 and my 2006 ford vans equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations on motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
- Consequence:
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
- Correction:
- Century is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or century at 812-246-3371.

- Consequence:
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
