What NHTSA recorded

Daimler trucks is recalling 2,250 my 2006 and 2007 thomas built minotour, fs65, c2, hdx, and mvp ef school buses and recreational vehicle chassis manufactured between march 9, 2005 and february 23, 2007, equipped with ricon s or k series wheelchair lifts. The anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift which fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles."

A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
