- Component:
- Equipment adaptive
- Manufactured:
- 03/31/2005 - 03/14/2008
- Affected:
- 4,409
- Defect:
- Startrans is recalling 4,409 my 2004-2008 senator and candidate shuttle buses built on ford or chevrolet chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
- Consequence:
- The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
- Correction:
- Startrans is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or startrans at 877-258-1392.
- Notes:
- Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

- Defect:
- Startrans is recalling 4,409 my 2004-2008 senator and candidate shuttle buses built on ford or chevrolet chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. these lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. the pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. the lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
- Consequence:
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
- Correction:
- Startrans is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or startrans at 877-258-1392.
