2008 FORD E-250 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Ford E-250 has 7 recalls, all involving Ricon wheelchair lifts installed by various mobility equipment converters, with the most serious risk being a lift platform that can physically separate and fall against the vehicle's lift door. Several of these recalls share the same core defect: the wheelchair lift's platform side plates can crack, or bearings can shift out of position in the folding link arms, causing the platform to fail its mounting and detach. A separate but related concern involves the threshold warning system, which may not detect a wheelchair user in part of the lift's threshold zone, meaning the platform could move while someone is in that spot. There is also a recall where the lift's positioning input cam can fail during operation, letting the platform travel higher than the vehicle floor and tipping a wheelchair user inward as they exit.
