2010 IC BUS BE; 2010 IC BUS CE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain 2010 IC BE and CE school buses manufactured between April 22 and May 14, 2009, that are equipped with Ricon S Series and K Series L-Model wheelchair lifts. A software defect in the lift's "up" function can cause the platform to continue rising past the vehicle floor level and stop at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees if the "up" button is released before the floor level limit switch is activated. This positioning creates a hazard where a person in a wheelchair could tip over or someone standing on the platform could fall, potentially causing injuries.
Navistar will notify owners of the recall, which began on June 27, 2011. Until a permanent software solution becomes available, Ricon will provide owners with an instructional bulletin and a free DVD-based training aid about proper wheelchair lift operation. Authorized Ricon dealers will perform any repairs at no charge once the software solution is available. Owners can contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 for more information.
