2007-2009 FORD E-150 EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE Recall
2007-2009 FORD E-150	EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE Units affected: 65	COMM-TRANS Report Date: 2010-04-15

THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE.

IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT.
