The 2012 Ford E-450 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a propane fuel system conversion where a fitting can leak propane near an ignition source and cause a fire. This recall affects only vehicles modified with a propane fuel system conversion kit. On the mobility equipment side, certain wheelchair lifts installed by vehicle modifiers have side plates that can crack, allowing the lift platform to separate and fall against the lift door opening. A fourth recall affects units converted into ambulances: a backup camera monitor can display a mirrored image, causing the driver to steer the wrong direction when reversing.
