Ricon Corporation: Wheelchair Lift Threshold Warning System Kits Recalled for Insufficient Lighting

Agency Publication Date: November 22, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ricon Corporation is recalling approximately 5,321 Threshold Warning System (TWS) kits with part number RI32885, which are used with Ricon Baylift and Mirage Series wheelchair lifts. The red beacon lights on these kits may not be bright enough to meet federal safety standards for platform lift systems. Ricon will replace the affected warning system kits free of charge to ensure the safety of wheelchair lift users.

Risk

The warning beacons may not be visible enough to wheelchair lift users due to low illumination. This increases the risk that a user may not see the warning signals during lift operation, which could lead to accidental falls or other injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your wheelchair lift is equipped with a Threshold Warning System (TWS) kit by checking for part number RI32885 on the unit.
  2. Verify if your wheelchair lift is a Ricon Baylift or Mirage Series model that utilizes this specific warning system.
  3. Contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 to arrange for a free replacement of the Threshold Warning System kit.
  4. If you have additional questions or concerns, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
