What happened

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. is recalling certain 2015 and 2017 Transtech buses equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series wheelchair lifts. The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail during use, causing the lift platform to stop above the vehicle floor. This creates a tipping hazard for wheelchair users when exiting the lift and increases their risk of injury.

TCI will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam at no charge. The recall began on April 24, 2019. Owners should contact TCI customer service at 1-845-988-0419 for service. The recall number is 18E-044.
