Defect Description For Recall
Farber Speciality Vehicles (Fsv) Is Recalling Certain Model Year 2008-2010 Fsv Speacility Vehicles Manufactured Between December 17, 2007 And December 18, 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.
