What NHTSA recorded

Turtle top is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 transit and shuttle buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. The wheelchair lifts were to be equipped with a restraint buckle that has an interlock feature designed to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. In the recalled buses, however, the interlock feature may not operate properly and the lift may operate even when the buckle is not latched.

Possible consequence

The wheelchair may move during lift operation and the unsecured occupant, could be injured.

Remedy

Turtle top is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on october 8, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884, or email at [email protected].
