Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Turtle Top is recalling certain 2007-2010 Transit and Shuttle buses equipped with Ricon public use wheelchair lifts. The wheelchair lifts were designed with a restraint buckle that has an interlock feature to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. However, in the recalled buses, the interlock feature may not operate properly, allowing the lift to operate even when the buckle is not latched. This defect could cause the wheelchair to move during lift operation and potentially injure the unsecured occupant.
Turtle Top is working with Ricon, which is handling the remedy for this recall campaign. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. Affected owners should contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or email dmata@wabtec.com for more information and to receive the safety materials. The recall began on October 8, 2010.
