Ricon Corporation (Ricon) is recalling certain Threshold Warning System Kits (TWS) with part number RI32885, designed for use with Ricon Baylift and Mirage Series wheelchair lifts. The red beacon lighting on the TWS may not be bright enough. As such, these kits fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Ricon will replace the TWS kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 11, 2024. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
