Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Supreme Corporation is recalling certain Startrans shuttle buses manufactured between May 9, 2008, and August 9, 2014, that are equipped with specific Ricon wheelchair lifts. The affected models include Activity Bus, Azure Hybrid, Candidate, Senator, Senator HD, Senator II, President, President S2, Sentinel Van, and Trolley shuttle buses with Ricon model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, or S5510 wheelchair lifts. These lifts have a defect where bearings in the folding link arms may move out of position due to oversized pivot holes, and the platform side plate may crack. If bearings become displaced, the stowed platform may move excessively and fail, causing the wheelchair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when doors are opened, which could injure the lift operator.
Supreme began notifying owners on June 29, 2016, and will advise them to contact Ricon. Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or displaced bearings and the platform for cracks at no charge, replacing any damaged parts. Affected owners should contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-642-4889 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 to arrange an inspection.
