Farber Specialty Vehicles armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
The short version
Farber Specialty Vehicles reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
Farber Specialty Vehicles (Farber) is recalling one 2011 Ford Chassis Mobile Classroom and one 2012 Ford 550 Bomb Response Unit vehicle 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.
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.
Farber will notify owners and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge.
