What NHTSA recorded

Certain 2005 bantam, super bantam, and grand bantam school buses manufactured between june 10 and september 28, 2005, equipped with ricon model s20005 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 injury or death.

Remedy

Ricon is conducting this recall (please see 06e008000) and will replace the two vertical arms even if only one arm is cracked free of charge. The recall began on june 22, 2006. Owners may contact ricon customer support dept. At 800-322-2884 or owners may contact collins bus customer service at 1-800-533-1850.
