Posted on: 2013-01-14
Description
Goshen coach is recalling certain buses as follows: gc ii, model years 2006-2012; gcii-550, model years 2007-2009; g-force, model years 2011-2012; pacer, model years 2006-2012; pacer ls, model years 2008, 2010, and 2013; pacer ltd, model year 2012; and sentinel, model year 2011.  The buses are equipped with a ricon manufactured wheelchair lift which has an optional armored pendant cable.  The cable may have been installed such that it doesn't clear the wheelchair lift and without a protective cover, or a misinstalled protective cover.

Consequence
The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.  

Corrective Action
Goshen coach is working with ricon to notify owners.  Ricon will provide a supplemental cover kit with instructions, free of charge.  Owners may contact goshen coach at 1-574-970-6300 or ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

DEFECT #2 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE


Posted on: 2015-11-12
Description
Goshen coach (goshen) is recalling certain modle year 2006-2015 pacer, pacer ls, pacer ltd, gcii, impulse, connection, commander, g-force, g-force access, g-force ltd, sentinel, sentinel uc, and mainstream low floor buses manufactured january 1, 2006, to october 19, 2015, and equipped with certain model s2005, s2010, s5005, s5010, s5505, and s5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by ricon.  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
Goshen will notify owners, and 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 november 23, 2015.  Owners may contact goshen customer service at 1-574-970-6300, or ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.  Note: these vehicles and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014.  All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
