Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Diamond Coach Corporation is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 VIP and PT transit buses equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lifts manufactured between January 2006 and December 2011. The wheelchair lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, which can cause bearings to shift out of position. If the bearings become displaced, the stowed platform may move excessively and fail, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened and injuring the lift operator.
To remedy the problem, Diamond will notify owners, who should inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and check the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. Owners can contact Diamond customer service at 1-620-795-2191 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. The company notes that vehicles that received the remedy for a similar 2014 recall are still affected by this recall.
