Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain model year 2006-2016 school buses equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lift models. The lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, which can allow bearings to shift out of 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, which poses an injury risk to lift operators.
Owners will be notified by Collins, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and examine the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. Consumers should contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Vehicles that received the remedy from a similar 2014 recall remain affected by this current recall.
