Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Transportation Collaborative is recalling certain school buses manufactured between January 2006 and April 2014 that are equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lift models. The wheelchair lifts on these buses have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, which can allow bearings to shift out of their proper position. If the bearings move, the stowed platform may move excessively and fail, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, creating a risk of injury to the lift operator.
To address this issue, Transportation Collaborative will notify owners to inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and check the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost to the owner. Affected owners should contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. The recall began on December 17, 2015. The record notes that these same vehicles were subject to a similar recall in 2014, and vehicles that received that earlier remedy are still affected by this recall.
