2013 COACH AND EQUIPMENT METRO LITE; 2013 COACH AND EQUIPMENT PHOENIX
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. is recalling certain 2013 Metro Lite transit buses (manufactured May through June 2013) and Phoenix transit buses (manufactured March through April 2013) equipped with Ricon S-series or K-series wheelchair lifts that have an optional armored pendant cable. If the cable does not clear the wheelchair lift properly, it may contact the power lug. If the cable lacks a nonconductive cover or has an improperly installed cover, a short circuit could occur and potentially cause a fire.
Coach and Equipment will notify owners, and Ricon will send affected owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no charge, with the recall expected to begin in June 2014. Consumers with affected buses should contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-315-536-2321, Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884, or email recall.admin@wabtec.com.
