What happened

These buses are equipped with Ricon-manufactured wheelchair lifts featuring an optional armored pendant cable that may have been installed improperly or without adequate clearance from the wheelchair lift base, creating a potential hazard.

The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheelchair lift, causing a short circuit that could result in a fire. Ricon is conducting the recall on behalf of Coach and Equipment and will notify affected owners to provide a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no charge. Affected consumers should contact Coach and Equipment Manufacturing Corp. at 1-800-946-7513 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000.
