Home › Cars & vehicles › Gillig, LLC — Wheel Chair Lift Link Arm Pivot…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
Gillig will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Note: These wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All lifts that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
