Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain Aerotech, AeroElite, Aerolite, Advantage, Transtech, and Krystal shuttle buses (model years 2006–2015) and VersaShuttle shuttle buses (model years 2006–2014) equipped with Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts (models S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510). The lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be oversized, which can allow bearings to move out of position. If bearings become displaced, the stowed platform may move excessively and fail, causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened and potentially injuring the lift operator.
Eldorado will notify owners, and Ricon will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and inspect the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no charge. Owners should contact Eldorado customer service at 1-785-827-1033 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Vehicles that received a similar recall remedy in 2014 are still affected by this recall.
