What's wrong?
On 2006-2014 Dodgen Mobile Tech. Mobility Rv vehicles, the wheelchair lift is the powered platform that raises and lowers a wheelchair at the vehicle door. The Ricon S-Series lift uses folding link arms, bearings, and a platform pivot plate to keep the platform level as it moves and when it is stowed.
The problem starts at the lift hardware that guides that motion. The pivot holes in the folding link arms are too large, so the bearings can move out of position. Under certain conditions, the platform pivot plate can crack while the lift is stowed. If that crack keeps growing, the rear portion of the plate can separate, leaving the lift inoperable or unsafe for the operator.
There is no warning sign before failure. If cracking develops on both sides and the lift is stowed, the platform can lean against the lift doors and fall out when those doors are opened.
