Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Navistar is recalling certain IC school buses from model years 2007-2015 equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lifts because the lifts have a defect in the folding link arms. The pivot holes in these arms are oversized, which can allow bearings to shift out of position. If this occurs, the wheelchair lift platform may move excessively when stored and could fail, potentially causing the platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, creating an injury risk for lift operators.
Navistar dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and examine the platform for cracks, replacing any damaged parts at no cost. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners of affected buses should contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 to arrange an inspection. The source notes that vehicles that received a similar recall remedy in 2014 remain affected by this recall.

If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Navistar will notify the purchasers of the lifts, and dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825. Note: These buses and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
