DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE


Posted on: 2006-12-08
Description
On certain transit buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts, the wheelchair lift vertical support arms were improperly welded.

Consequence
During passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the buses or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.

Corrective Action
Ricon is conducting this recall and will replace the two vertical arms even if only one arm is cracked (please see 06e008).  Owners may contact starcraft bus at 800-348-7440 or ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
