NHTSA #14V676000Reported October 28, 2014 · Halcore Group, Inc.
Potentially affected: 6 vehicles
Defect description
Halcore Group, Inc. (Halcore) is recalling certain model year 2006 Leader Type II Ambulances, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Safety consequence
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.
Manufacturer remedy
Halcore will notify owners to take the vehicles to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2014. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-614-539-8181 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
