What this recall means for you
A part called the wheelchair lift positioning input cam can fail while the lift is in use. When that happens, the lift platform can stop higher than the vehicle floor.
If the platform stops above the floor, a wheelchair user may tip inward toward the vehicle as they exit the lift, which raises the risk of injury.
The repair is free. Ricon servicing dealers will replace the input cam at no cost. Owners can contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464, or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or [email protected]. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your bus is affected.
