The platform lifts may have a defect in the weld which will allow a joint on the vertical lift to crack.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the vehicle or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle. This may result in personal injury or death.
