The 2014 Ford E-450 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving wheelchair lift platform side plates that can crack and cause the lift platform to separate, leaving it resting against the vehicle's lift door and potentially stranding or injuring a passenger during loading or unloading.
A separate recall affects vehicles modified with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, where the seat back can move in a crash and raise the risk of injury to the occupant. On the visibility side, certain E-450 ambulances built by VCI and equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager backup camera monitors can display a mirrored or disorienting image, causing the driver to steer the wrong direction when reversing.
