Safety Issue:

Navistar, Inc.

The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.

Potential Risk:
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
FREE Recall Solution:
