DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE


Posted on: 2015-11-18
Description
Forest river, inc.  (forest river) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 glaval universal, primetime, sport, titan, and titan ii transit buses manufactured january 1, 2006, to september 26, 2014, and equipped with certain model s2005, s2010, s5005, s5010, s5505, and s5510 wheelchair lifts built by the ricon corporation.  The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.

Consequence
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting.  This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

Corrective Action
Forest river will notify owners, and ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings.  The platform will be inspected for cracks.  Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on december 16, 2016.  Owners may contact forest river customer service at 574-343-5184 or ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.  Forest river's number for this recall is 51-11102015-0108.
