Equipment adaptive/mobility
Problem: Sunset vans is recalling 169 my 2005-2007 econoline, g series and sprinter trucks built on dodge, ford and chevrolet chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.
