The 2012 Ford E-450 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a propane fuel system conversion where a fitting in the fuel line can leak, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is present.
Two recalls cover the same wheelchair lift defect on vehicles modified by different specialty coachbuilders: side plates on certain Ricon-brand lift platforms can crack, causing the platform to break away from the lift and drop against the vehicle's lift door, which could leave a passenger or wheelchair unsupported. On the equipment side, certain ambulance builds fitted with ASA Electronics Voyager backup camera monitors display a mirrored or reversed image, which can cause the driver to steer in the wrong direction when reversing and increase the chance of a crash.
