Farber Specialty Vehicles recalls vehicles with S-Series and K-Series wheelchair lifts over controls that may not stop the lift
A part called an electrical contactor in the lift may fail, so the controls cannot stop the lift and it keeps moving while someone is on it, which raises the risk of injury.
What to do
Farber Specialty will work with Ricon to fix the wiring by installing two diodes, free of charge. Owners can call Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188; letters are expected to be mailed October 1, 2026.
