What this recall means
This recall covers certain 2023 and 2024 Ride Type A school buses. The electrical contactor in the wheelchair lift controls may fail, which could prevent the controls from stopping the lift.
If the lift keeps moving while someone is on it, the risk of injury increases. Owners should take this recall seriously and arrange for the fix as soon as possible.
The repair is free. BYD will work with Ricon to correct the wiring by installing two diodes. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 21, 2026.
