What NHTSA recorded

Certain orion buses equipped with sure-lok wheelchair tie-down securement assemblies. The sprocket teeth of the retractor assembly may be out of alignment causing the load pawl not to fully seat in the sprocket teeth.

Possible consequence

In the event of a vehicle crash, the wheelchair may not be adequately secured possibly resulting in injuries.

Remedy

Sure-lok will conduct the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the wheelchair securement retractors as necessary. Owners should contact sure-lok at 1-866-787-3565 or orion at 905-403-1111.
