Description of the Defect : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: The Threshold Warning Kit uses an assembly that contains two beacons, one that mounts directly above the doorway where the lift operates and one that is mounted at the discretion of the vehicle manufacturer and serves as a supplemental beacon to enhance the visibility of the platform. The kit also uses a compliant audible warning signal. The light intensity of the red beacons in this kit does not comply with the minimum light requirement of 20 candelas as specified in FMVSS 403, section

FMVSS 2 : 403 – Platform lift systems
Description of the Safety Risk : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: While the beacons used in the
Threshold Warning System Kit illuminate as designed and the audible warning signal operates as required, a warning beacon light that displays below the minimum level of candelas may be less visible to users located near an out of position platform lift and may increase the risk of injury.
Description of the Cause : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: The cause is the wattage rating of the bulbs not being sufficient enough to produce the minimum light intensity of 20 candela specified in FMVSS 403, section S6.1.4 Identification of Any Warning
