What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

WHEN POWER IS APPLIED INTERMITTENTLY TO THE RECEIVER PORTION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL, THE RECEIVER CAN LOCK UP IN AN UNKNOWN STATE WHICH MAY SEND A SIGNAL TO THE LIFT TO DEPLOY WITHOUT A COMMAND FROM THE DRIVER.

The risk

IF INADVERTENT LIFT DEPLOYMENT HAPPENS WHILE THEVEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A FOUR FOOT PLATFORM PROTRUDES OUT FROM THE PASSENGERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL CHANGE THE WIRING ON THE WHEELCHAIR LIFTS.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
