What happened

Supreme Corporation is recalling certain 2013 model Senator, Senator II, Trolley, President, Heavy Duty, and Activity transit buses and trolleys manufactured between December 15, 2012, and December 31, 2013, 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. If the cable lacks a nonconductive cover or has an improperly installed cover, a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

If you own an affected bus or trolley, Supreme will notify you and Ricon will send you a supplemental cover kit and instructions at no charge. To obtain the recall remedy or for more information, contact Supreme customer service at 1-574-642-4888, Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884, or email recall.admin@wabtec.com.
