Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Thomas Built Buses equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lift models. The lifts contain folding link arms with pivot holes that may be oversized, causing the bearings to shift out of position. If this happens, the stowed wheelchair platform can move excessively and fail at its mounting points, potentially causing the platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors open and injuring the lift operator.
DTNA will notify owners and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost to the owner. The recall began on November 2, 2015. Owners should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000, and reference recall number FL-686.
