Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
IC Corporation school buses manufactured between September 2005 and May 2017 and equipped with certain Ricon wheelchair lift models are being recalled because the pivot holes in the lift's folding link arms may be oversized, allowing bearings to shift out of position. If the bearings move, the stowed platform can move excessively and fail, potentially causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors open, which could injure the lift operator.
To address this issue, Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and the platform for cracks, replacing any damaged parts at no cost to owners. The recall began December 18, 2015. Affected owners should contact Kingmor customer service at 1-800-782-4474 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. The recall notice also states that vehicles which received a similar recall remedy in 2014 remain affected by this current recall.
