Residential Elevators Recalled for Repair by ThyssenKrupp Access Manufacturing Due to Fall Hazard

This recall involves LEV II, Volant and Rise residential elevators. The elevators were installed in residences with three or more floors.

The model/serial number is printed in the owner's manual and at the top of the elevator's controller, which is mounted at the top of the elevator in the hoistway or shaft.

Required Consumer Action

Consumers should stop using the elevators immediately if they see an "E3" or "E8" error code displayed on the elevator. Even if there is no "E3" or "E8" error code displayed, contact the firm to arrange for a free software upgrade for the elevator.
