What happened

Certain Startrans transit buses from model years 2006-2012 equipped with Ricon wheelchair lifts are being recalled because an optional armored pendant cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheelchair lift. This contact could cause a short circuit that may result in a fire. The affected buses include Trolley, Sentinel, Senator HD, Senator, Candidate, C2, S2, PS2, and President models. The cable may have been installed incorrectly or without proper protective covering.

Ricon is conducting this recall on behalf of Supreme Corporation. To remedy the issue, Ricon will provide affected owners with a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no charge. Owners of affected buses should contact Supreme Corporation at 1-800-642-4889 or Ricon at 1-818-267-3000 to report their bus and receive the free cover kit.
