Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ameritrans Bus, Inc. is recalling certain 2012-2014 model CTV, 225, 200, 245, 285, 375, and 395 vehicles manufactured between August 1, 2012, and July 10, 2014, that are equipped with specific Ricon Corporation wheelchair lifts. These affected lifts have folding link arms with pivot holes that may be too large, which can allow bearings to shift out of their proper position.
If the bearings become displaced, the stowed wheelchair lift platform may move excessively and fail, potentially causing the platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened and creating a risk of injury to the lift operator. According to the record, owners should contact Ameritrans customer service at 1-574-262-8935 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Dealers will inspect the link arms and platform for damage, and any damaged parts will be replaced at no cost to the owner.
