What's wrong?
The wheelchair lift on the 2008, 2010, 2012 Winnebago Vista and Aspect coaches is the powered platform that raises or lowers a wheelchair user between the ground and the coach floor. The platform side plate is part of that lift platform. It helps hold the platform structure together as the lift carries weight through its travel.
On affected coaches, certain Ricon model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, or S5510 wheelchair lifts have a platform side plate that can crack. The recall identifies the cracked side plate as the defect, without naming a separate cause in the available defect summary. A cracked side plate means the lift platform is no longer carrying load the way it was designed to.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the lift looks uneven, makes new noises, or shows visible cracking, stop using it and have a Winnebago dealer inspect it.
Who's affected?
The recall spans Vista and Aspect motorhomes from the 2008, 2010, and 2012 model years, with the same equipment adaptive/mobility component.
| 2010 Winnebago Vista | Equipment adaptive/mobility |
|---|---|
| 2008 Winnebago Aspect | Equipment adaptive/mobility |
| 2012 Winnebago Vista | Equipment adaptive/mobility |
| Units affected | 3 |
A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Cracked platform side plates can let the lift platform separate from the lift and rest against the lift door. When the door opens, the platform can fall outward, increasing injury risk for the lift operator. Keep clear of the platform area and schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008, 2010, 2012 Winnebago Vista or Aspect coach is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer or Ricon service center to ask about the free wheelchair-lift platform bumper installation.
- Avoid using the wheelchair lift until it is inspected, since cracked platform side plates can let the platform separate and fall when the doors open.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V586 when you call.
- Call Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 with questions about the lift repair path.
What happens at the repair
At a Ricon dealer or service center, the technician installs supplemental platform support bumpers on the wheelchair lift. If the platform has already started cracking, the platform is replaced. The available recall data does not list the current remedy status, so confirm scheduling with the service center before traveling. The dealer repair will be free once available, and parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V586?
Recall 14V586 covers 3 Winnebago coaches from 2008, 2010, and 2012 with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts. The lift platform side plate can crack, which can let the platform separate and fall when the lift door is opened, increasing injury risk to the lift operator.
What should I do if my 2008, 2010, 2012 Winnebago Vista or Aspect is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific coach is included in recall 14V586. If it is, contact Winnebago or Ricon customer service and arrange service through a Ricon dealer or service center. Reference recall 14V586 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
