Component:
Equipment adaptive
Affected:
41
Defect:
Elkhart coach has notified nhtsa of a defect in certain transit buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
Consequence:
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Correction:
Elkhart coach is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the safety recall began on july 27, 2010. owners may contact ricon customer service at 800-322-2884, emailing at www.dmata@wabtec.com.
Notes:
Owners 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 <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Component:
Equipment adaptive
Affected:
200
Defect:
Elkhart coach has notified nhtsa about a defect in certain transit buses equipped with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts, due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function. if the "up" switch is released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel for approximately 1 second before stopping. the continued upward travel may overrun the floor level cut off point.
Consequence:
When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.
Correction:
Elkhart coach will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. currently ricon is developing a software solution and is not available. until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. the safety recall began on july 27, 2010. owners may contact ricon customer service at 800- 322-2884, emailing at www.dmata@wabtec.com.

Defect:
Creative bus sales, inc is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 chevrolet and gmc c5500, and ford e450, and econoline 350 vehicles equipped with braun wheelchair lifts. over time, or with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the lifts may become bent or misaligned.
Consequence:
A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. if this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair's occupant could fall and sustain injury.
Correction:
Braun is conducting this recall on behalf of creative bus sales. braun will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the recall began on november 23, 2012. owners may contact creative bus at 1-888-633-8380 or braun at 1-800-488-0359.
