What NHTSA recorded

Collins is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 grand bantam, super bantam, mid bus grand guide, and mid bus super guide school buses manufactured from february 14 to october 19, 2009, equipped with a braun ncl917ib-2 century wheelchair lift. The toe stop inner barrier and platform may not be adjusted correctly possibly allowing the unit to be moved to the stow position. These wheelchair lefts fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles."

Possible consequence

Should the lift begin to stow while it is in use, serious injury or death could occur to the lift user.

Collins will notify owners and braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on december 17, 2009. Owners may contact collins bus service at 1-800-533-1850 ext 424.
