Recall 08V-406: 2007 Oshkosh SV Double Expandable Trailer
OSHKOSH SPECIALTY VEHICLES recall for equipment adaptive/mobility, reported to NHTSA on Aug 14, 2008, covering about 1 vehicles.
The problem
Oshkosh specialty vehicles is recalling 1 my 2007 double expandable trailer equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
The risk
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
