The defect
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 American Emergency Vehicles (AEV) Ambulance Wheelchair Vans manufactured March 1, 2006, to March 31, 2013, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
The risk
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
