Defect: Farber Specialty Vehicles (Farber) is recalling one 2011 Ford Chassis Mobile Classroom and one 2012 Ford 550 Bomb Response Unit vehicle equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Risk: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Fix: Farber will notify owners and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2013. Owners may contact Farber at 1-800-331-3188 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.
