Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling wheelchair lifts installed on certain model year 2006–2014 MB II, G5, and CT-Series transit buses. The lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, causing bearings to shift out of position. If bearings move, the stowed wheelchair lift platform can develop excessive movement and fail at its mounting points, potentially causing the platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened and increasing the risk of injury to lift operators.
Micro Bird will contact owners to arrange inspections by Ricon dealers. Dealers will check the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and inspect the platform for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost to the owner. Affected consumers should contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884, referencing recall number 15-063-RUC.
