Recall 13V-263: 2009 Turtle Top Ford Odyssey
Turtle Top recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jun 24, 2013, covering about 132 vehicles.
The problem
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2012 Odyssey, Terra Transport, and Van Terra vehicles manufactured September 1, 2006, through November 1, 2012, and equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
The risk
If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
The fix
Turtle Top will notify owners and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. This recall campaign will begin during July 2013. Owners may contact Turtle Top at 1-800-296-2105 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].
