Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Champion Bus is recalling certain transit buses manufactured between January 2006 and July 2014 that are equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts. The affected buses include multiple models such as American Coach, American Crusader, Challenger, Corporal, and others. The problem involves platform side plates on these lifts that may crack, which could cause the lift platform to separate from the lift mechanism and rest against the vehicle's lift door. When doors are opened, the platform could fall out, creating an injury risk to lift operators.
Owners of affected buses should contact Champion Bus customer service at 1-810-724-6474 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Champion Bus will notify owners to bring their buses to a Ricon dealer or service center, where supplemental platform support bumpers will be installed at no cost. Any platform that has already begun cracking will be replaced free of charge. The recall began in November 2014.
