Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Parts can come loose.
