DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE
Posted on: 2010-03-24
Description
Prevost has notified nhtsa of a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 motor coaches fitted with ricon public use lifts. 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. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
Consequence
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Corrective Action
Prevost coach is working with ricon and prevost will be handling the remedy for this campaign through safety recall (sr10-19). Prevost will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The recall began on june 14, 2010.
