Campaign:
08V419000 on 08/20/2008
Component:
Equipment adaptive
Manufactured:
01/11/2006 - 01/07/2008
Affected:
31
Defect:
Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 itasca cambria, horizon, winnebago access, adventurer, journey, minnie winnie, signtseer, tour, vectra, and voyage motor homes 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.
Correction:
Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07e097). owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
