  • Recall 16V369000May 26, 2016759 vehiclesModel years 2008–2014

    Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

  • Recall 16V014000Jan 15, 20161,762 vehiclesModel years 2008–2014

This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

  • Recall 14V662000Oct 21, 20141,705 vehiclesModel years 2008–2010

    Risk: 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.
