| 2011 FORD E-150 Manufactured between: 01/01/2011 and 05/20/2011 Defect: roush performance products is recalling certain 2011 ford e-series vans equipped with 5.4 or 6.8 liter engines that have been altered by roush to operate using the roush liquid propane autogas fuel system. a valve in the system may have been mismachined allowing a propane leak. Consequence: a propane leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire. Action: roush will replace the defective valve with a correctly machined one. all the affected vehicles have been repaired, therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. owners may contact roush at 1-734-466-6255. Recall Date: 05/31/2011 | |
| 2011 FORD E-150 Manufactured between: 03/07/2011 and 03/23/2011 Defect: ford is recalling certain model year 2011 e-150, e-250, e-350 and e-450 trucks for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems." it may be possible that under unusually high loads, such as during a crash, the driver power seat track worm gear may fracture. Consequence: in the event of a crash or other circumstances of severe loading, the worm gear could fracture and allow the seat to shift unrestrained forward or backward increasing the risk and/or severity of injuries to the driver. Action: dealers will inspect the driver's seat track assembly, and if necessary, replace it free of charge. the safety recall began on may 4, 2011. owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Recall Date: 04/20/2011 | |
| 2009 FORD E-150 Manufactured between: 12/07/2007 and 12/23/2009 Defect: comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. Action: comm-trans is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: when the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. Action: comm-trans will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: in the event of a crash or other circumstances of severe loading, the worm gear could fracture and allow the seat to shift unrestrained forward or backward increasing the risk and/or severity of injuries to the driver. Action: dealers will inspect the driver's seat track assembly, and if necessary, replace it free of charge. the safety recall began on may 4, 2011. owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.

| 2009 FORD E-250 Manufactured between: 12/07/2007 and 12/23/2009 Defect: comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. Action: comm-trans is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: when the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. Action: comm-trans will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

| 2008 FORD E-350 Manufactured between: 04/29/2008 and 01/20/2009 Defect: ford is recalling 65 my 2008-2009 e-350 and my 2009 e450 cutaway vehicles equipped with school bus prep packages for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity." these vehicles may not have been assembled with the fuel tank protection brackets that are required for school bus applications. Consequence: in certain types of very severe crashes, the fuel tank may be damaged and result in a leak. a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Action: dealers will inspect for proper fuel tank protection bracket installation and install brackets free of charge. the recall began on june 26, 2009. owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332 or through the internet at www.ownerconnection.com.

| 2008 FORD E-350 Manufactured between: 09/01/2007 and 12/14/2007 Defect: ford is recalling 3,331 my 2008 e-350 vehicles built with a 138 inch wheel base. the drive shaft may have been manufactured with a slip yoke that has cracks. the effect of the cracks on fatigue performance is variable, but on some yokes with cracks, the performance is reduced below design specification. Consequence: cracks in the slip yoke would progress over time and the slip yoke could fracture without warning while the vehicle is being driven allowing the drive shaft to separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash. Action: dealers will have the drive shaft inspected for manufacturing date and replace it free of charge. the recall began on april 14, 2008. owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

| 2007 FORD E-350 Manufactured between: 04/27/2005 and 07/29/2010 Defect: braun is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2011 paratransit vans built on ford e-350 chassis from april 27, 2005, through july 29, 2010, equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units (em-1) manufactured from january 1, 2006 through december 2010, containing a delphi pack-con iii fuse holder in an allied motion motor assembly; em-1 unit part numbers 77-62112-xx and 77-62512-xx, starting with serial number knt90890232 to serial number nne91230058. due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing. Consequence: if sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire. Action: braun will notify owners and instruct them to contact either carrier or a braun dealer to obtain the free remedy. the safety recall began on march 17, 2011. owners may contact carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or braun at 1-800-the-lift (1-800-843-5438).

| 2007 FORD E-350 Manufactured between: 12/07/2007 and 12/23/2009 Defect: comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. Action: comm-trans is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

| 2007 FORD E-350 Manufactured between: 12/07/2007 and 12/23/2009 Defect: comm-trans is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 ada conversion vans built on ford e-150, e-250, and e-350 chassis between december 7, 2007 and december 23, 2009 and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function, should the "up" button be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point. Consequence: when the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. Action: comm-trans will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on july 6, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or comm-trans at 1-901-726-9394.

Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. Action: mts is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

Consequence: when the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. Action: mts will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

Action: mts will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

| 2008 FORD E250 Manufactured between: 11/01/2007 and 05/05/2010 Defect: mobility works is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis after november 2007 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled. Action: mobility works is working with ricon and ricon will be performing the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on august 20, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mobility works at 1-800-769-8267.

| 2008 FORD E350 Manufactured between: 09/16/2008 and 04/15/2009 Defect: mobility transportation (mts) is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis from september 16, 2008 through april 15, 2009 and fitted with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function, should the "up" button be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point. Consequence: when the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries. Action: mts will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. a software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mts at 1-734-453-6452.

| 2008 FORD E350 Manufactured between: 11/01/2007 and 05/05/2010 Defect: mobility works is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 conversion vans built on ford e150, e250, and e350 chassis after november 2007 and fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform. Consequence: the user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
