When the lift's outer barrier is fully deployed, it may not withstand a sufficient amount of force, which could cause it to fail.

Remedy

Ricon will reinforce the outer barrier with additional supports, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 30, 2021. Owners may contact Van Hool's customer service at 1-877-427-7278 or 1-407-656-7977. Van Hool's number for this recall is P1528-SB2067.
