DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT
Posted on: 2013-07-10
Description
Transportation collaborative, inc. (tci) is recalling one model year 2010 transtech dw6159rlsst and one model year 2012 transtech sc159dsfp600 school buses equipped with a ricon wheelchair lift with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.
Consequence
If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.
Corrective Action
Tci will notify owners and ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and installation instructions free of charge. This recall campaign began on july 22, 2013. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.
