What is wrong
Ricon is recalling certain S series and K Series wheelchair lifts manufactured after August 1, 2006, and equipped with an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.
What can happen
The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Ricon will notify the affected vehicles manufacturers and will provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. This recall campaign began during February 2013. Owners may contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000. Note: This recall supersedes recall 12E-038.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
