- Component:
- Equipment adaptive
- Manufactured:
- 06/15/2005 - 06/30/2005

- Defect:
- Certain my 2004-2007 thomas built minotour, fs65, mvp-ef, and hdx model school buses, manufactured between june 16 and july 1, 2005, equipped with ricon wheelchair lifts. cracks in the lift arms may allow the mechanism to twist during stowage, preventing closure of the safety interlock switches.
