What is wrong
Ricon Corporation (Ricon) is recalling certain Baylift Wheelchair Lift, part number RISSBF3XXX-XX. The outer barrier cannot withstand the maximum force when fully deployed.

What can happen
If the wheelchair lift's outer barrier cannot withstand the minimum amount of force, it can increase the risk of injury to lift occupants.

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.
