What happened

Champion Bus is recalling certain 2012-2018 Champion vehicles equipped with specific Titanium Wheelchair Lift models because the positioning input cam may fail during use. When this happens, the wheelchair lift platform can stop above the vehicle floor level, creating a tipping hazard for wheelchair users as they exit the lift and increasing their risk of injury.

Affected owners can contact Champion customer service at 1-810-724-1753 extension 415 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884, or email Ricon at Admin18E044@wabtec.com. Dealers will replace the injection molded cam with an aluminum machined cam at no charge. The recall began on November 1, 2018.
