What NHTSA recorded

Certain my 2006 and 2007 ic corporation fe, re, and ic school buses and ce school and commercial buses manufactured between june 12, 2005, and march 29, 2006, and equipped with ricon 1200, 2000, and 5500 series wheelchair lifts. The platform lifts may have a defect in the weld which will allow a joint on the vertical lift to crack.

Possible consequence

In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the vehicle or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle. This may result in personal injury or death.
