Equipment adaptive/mobility
Problem: La boit is recalling 8 my 2006-2007 ford e-450, gmc 5500, and workhorse specialty vehicles equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
Fix: La boit is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or la boit at 1-614-231-7640.

Problem: La boit is recalling 8 my 2006-2007 ford e-450, gmc 5500, and workhorse specialty vehicles 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 systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Risk: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Fix: La boit is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or la boit at 1-614-231-7640.

The vehicle was stationary. Starting the engine when cold produced a ticking noise. Went to the chevrolet dealer to ask about what the problem could be. He mentioned several things, one of which is exhaust manifold leaking. Sure enough, after checking the exhaust manifold a broken bolt was found…
