What happened

Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 transit buses (Universal, Primetime, Sport, Concorde, Titan, Titan II, Entourage, and Apollo models) manufactured between January 1, 2007, and December 3, 2012, that are equipped with certain Ricon S-series or K-series wheelchair lifts with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned so that it does not clear the wheelchair lift and could contact the power lug, potentially causing a short circuit and fire if the cable lacks a nonconductive cover or has an improperly installed cover.

To remedy the issue, Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no charge. Affected owners should contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2824, Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884, or by email at recall.admin@wabtec.com to receive the free kit and installation instructions.

Hazard

If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

What should I do?

Glaval will notify owners, and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014. Owners may contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2824 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.
