What happened

Glaval Bus is recalling certain transit buses from model years 2007-2012, including the Entourage, Sport, Universal, Titan, Titan II, Apollo, Primetime, and Concord models manufactured between January 1, 2007, and December 3, 2012. These buses are equipped with Ricon wheelchair lifts that have an optional armored pendant cable. The cable may have been installed without proper clearance from the wheelchair lift or without a protective cover, or the protective cover may have been misinstalled.

The cable poses a fire hazard because it may contact the power lug at the base of the wheelchair lift, causing a short circuit. Affected owners will be notified by Glaval Bus and directed to contact Ricon, which will provide a supplemental cover kit and installation instructions at no charge. Owners can reach Glaval Bus at 1-574-262-2212 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 to arrange for the free remedy.
