What happened

Forest River is recalling certain Starcraft Prodigy and Quest school buses from model years 2006-2014 that are equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lifts. The lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be oversized, which can cause bearings to shift out of position. If the bearings move, the stowed wheelchair lift platform may move excessively and fail, potentially causing the platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors open, creating a risk of injury to the lift operator.

To address this issue, Forest River will notify owners and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and inspect the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost. Affected consumers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 for more information about the recall number 51-11102015-0108.

Forest River will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks.
