- Correction:
- Coach and equipment will notify owners, and ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. the platform will be inspected for cracks. any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. the recall began on june 29, 2016. owners may contact coach and equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464.
