What happened

Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain school buses manufactured between January 1, 2006, and June 16, 2014, that are equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lift models. The platform side plates on these lifts may crack, which could cause the lift platform to separate from the lift mechanism and rest against the vehicle's lift door. If the doors are then opened, the platform could fall out, posing an injury risk to the lift operator.

To address this issue, Collins will notify affected owners and dealers will install a supplemental platform support bumper kit at no charge. Any platform that has already begun cracking will be replaced for free. The remedy began on December 15, 2014. According to the recall record, affected consumers should contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.
