Recall 14V641 covers 834 2006-2014 Ford E150, E250, and E350 vans with Ricon wheelchair lifts that can crack. Repairs are free.

Ford recall 14V641 covers 834 2006-2014 E150, E250, and E350 vans modified with certain Ricon wheelchair lifts because the lift platform side plate can crack. If the platform separates and rests against the lift door, it can fall when the doors open, increasing injury risk to the lift operator; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The wheelchair lift on affected 2006-2014 Ford E150, E250, and E350 vans is the powered platform that raises and lowers a wheelchair between the ground and the van floor. Its side plate is part of the platform structure. It helps hold the platform square and supported while the lift carries a wheelchair user.

On the recalled vans, certain Ricon S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 lifts have a platform side plate that can crack. A cracked side plate weakens the platform structure and changes how load moves through the lift. That defect is in the wheelchair lift equipment, not the Ford engine or drivetrain.

There is no warning sign before failure in the recall record. Before using the lift, look for visible cracking, bending, or loose hardware, and keep the lift out of service if the platform does not sit square.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and rest against the lift door. When the doors open, it can fall out and injure the lift operator. Keep people clear of the lift door when opening it, and schedule recall service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2014 Ford E150, E250, E350, Ford E-150, Ford E-250, or Ford E-350 van is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Ford customer service to ask whether the supplemental wheelchair-lift platform support bumpers or platform replacement are ready for your van.
  3. Schedule the free lift repair that addresses cracking side plates before the platform separates from the lift.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V641 when you call.
  5. Avoid using the wheelchair lift until the support bumpers are installed or the cracked platform is replaced.

What happens at the repair

The known dealer repair is to add supplemental platform support bumpers to the Ricon wheelchair lift. If the platform side plate has already started cracking, the platform is replaced instead. Parts and labor are covered by the recall, and the final dealer repair will be free once available. The source remedy says the recall began on November 10, 2014, but this record does not list a current remedy status. At the service visit, a Ford technician should confirm the lift model, check the platform side plate for cracking, install the support bumpers, and replace the platform when cracking is present.
