Potentially affected: 2,114 vehicles
Defect description

The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Safety consequence
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
MCI will work with Ricon to replace the TWS kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 21, 2024. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
