The problem

Quality vans is recalling certain model year 2004 through 2006 vans 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 anti-stow interlock May not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.

The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.

The risk

The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
