The problem
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling one model year 2008 Oshkosh AMAMTH-2 trailer manufactured in February 2008. The trailer is 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.
The 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.
The fix
Pierce has notified the owner. Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. Owners may contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
