Eldorado recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
ElDorado National-Kansas Inc. (ElDorado) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Aerotech 240 vehicles, equipped with certain Ricon S series and K series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
What could happen
If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
The fix
ElDorado will notify owners, and Ricon will send the owner a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. The recall began July 17, 2014. Owners may contact ElDorado customer service at 1-800-850-1287 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected]. ElDorado's number for this recall is 14E-010.
