Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain wheelchair lifts installed on school buses manufactured between 2006 and 2014. The lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be oversized, which can allow bearings to shift out of position. If this occurs, the stowed platform can move excessively and fail, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, posing an injury risk to lift operators.
Owners of affected buses should contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 to arrange an inspection. Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost to the owner. The recall began on December 11, 2015, and Micro Bird's reference number for this recall is 15-063-RUS.
