Recall 21E-068 Baylift Plate


WHAT IS BEING RECALLED:

This recall applies to approximately 1,877 Baylift platform lifts. The recall population includes all Baylift units produced between April 1, 2005 – April 22, 2020.

WHY IS THE BAYLIFT BEING RECALLED:

Ricon has found that when the outer barrier of the platform is fully deployed, it cannot withstand the minimum 1,600 pounds of force required under 403.  As a result, if the occupant’s mobility device unexpectedly drives or pushes into the deployed outer barrier, there is an increased risk of injury to the lift occupant.

WHAT YOU AS THE OWNER/OPERATOR SHOULD DO:

Please call the Ricon Customer Service at (800) 322-2884, or email Ricon’s Recall Coordinator, at admin21e068@Wabtec.com or by locating the nearest Ricon servicing dealer using the locator on the Ricon website – www.riconcorp.com

Ricon will update the outer barrier to add a side barrier support feature that will allow the fully deployed outer barrier to withstand the amount of force required by 403.  This update will be provided to you free of charge. This repair will take approximately 0.75 hours.

If after attempting to have your vehicle repaired you believe you have not been able to have your vehicle remedied within a reasonable amount of time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, D.C., 20590; or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.  

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.  If you have any questions concerning these procedures please contact Ricon Customer Service at (800) 322-2884.

We apologize for any inconvenience related to this issue.

Sincerely, 

Frank Golemis
