Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Coach & Equipment is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 Phoenix Shuttle buses manufactured from December 2007 through January 2010 that are fitted with Ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts has a defect that allows the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. When this occurs, the belt appears properly latched but is not, which could allow the lift to operate unsafely and potentially injure a user.
To address this issue, Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or Coach & Equipment at 1-315-536-2321 to receive the remedy materials.

THE USER OF THE LIFT COULD BE INJURED SHOULD THE LIFT MOVE WITHOUT THE RESTRAINT BELT PROPERLY BUCKLED.
COACH & EQUIPMENT IS WORKING WITH RICON AND RICON WILL BE PERFORMING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. PLEASE SEE RICON'S DEFECT REPORT 09E-060. RICON WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH A WARNING DECAL AND A DVD-BASED TRAINING AID. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 1, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RICON AT 1-818-267-3000 OR COACH & EQUIPMENT AT 1-315-536-2321.
COACH & EQUIPMENT IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 THROUGH 2010 PHOENIX SHUTTLE BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 2007 THROUGH JANUARY 2010 AND FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
